India won its second gold medal in shooting at the ongoing 24th Deaflympics in Caxias do Sul, Brazil with Abhinav Deshwal claiming the men’s 10m air pistol title.
The 15-year-old from Roorkee, Uttarakhand, was tied with silver winning Ukranian Oleksii Lazebnyk at 234.2 points apiece at the end of the 24-shot final, before winning gold in a shoot-off where he shot a 10.3 to his opponent’s 9.7.

Chinese Taipei’s Hsu Ming-Jui won the bronze. Abhinav made the top eight final round after finishing second in the 60-shot qualification round with a score of 575 out of 600. He was tied on points there too with Kim Kihyeon, but the Korean topped on account of more inner 10s.
