Shooting: Finals postponed

Topping the charts: Manavjit Singh Sandhu finished first in the qualification stage along with Zoravar Singh Sandhu.

For the fans looking forward to an exciting finish, it was an anti-climax as both the men’s and junior men’s trap finals were postponed owing to bad light in the 61st National shotgun championship at the Dr. Karni Singh Range, Tughlakabad, on Friday.

With malfunctioning scoreboards, among other interruptions, delaying the proceedings, it proved difficult for the organisers to complete 94 rounds, spread over six ranges. In particular, the tie-shoot to decide the finalists in the men’s section took a long time.

While Zoravar Singh Sandhu and former World Champion Manavjit Singh Sandhu topped the qualification with 117, five shooters were vying for the remaining four slots in the final.
