Olympian Gurpreet Singh came agonisingly close to becoming the world champion in men’s 25m Centre Fire Pistol event but eventually got a silver after losing on inner 10s to Ukraine’s Pavlo Korostylov at the Olympic Shooting Range here.

This was Gurpreet’s second individual medal in the World Championships, the first also being a silver won in 2018 at Changwon in the 25m Standard Pistol event.
