Talented shooters Shubham Bisla and Sainyam gave India a golden start at the ISSF World Junior Championship, winning the men’s and women’s 10m air pistol competitions in Changwon, Korea here on Sunday. While it was Shubham’s first gold at the ISSF junior level, Sainyam backed up her win in the Suhl Junior World Cup last month, with an encore in Changwon.

India, as a result, won both golds on offer on day one of the competitions and were comfortably leading the medal tally. Shubham was the first to fire for India when he shot 244.6 in the men’s air pistol final, leaving China’s Bu Shuaihang, who shot 239.6, way behind.
