New Delhi: Indian shooter Rhythm Sangwan broke a 29-year-old record in the qualification round of the women’s 25m pistol competition at the ISSF World Cup Pistol event but did not fare well in the finals, finishing eighth. Ridham shot 595 to top the 25m pistol qualification, breaking Bulgaria’s Diana Egorova’s record set in Milan in 1994. Meanwhile, Egorova’s record has been equaled twice. Doreen Wennekamp of Germany also equaled this record in the World Cup played in Bhopal in March this year. Doren won the bronze medal in Baku, while China’s Feng Sixuan won her second consecutive gold medal in this competition at the World Cup, defeating Iran’s Haniyeh Rostamian in the final.

Rhythm also broke a 34-year-old record in the junior category in the women’s 25m pistol competition. The previous record was held by Nino Salukvadze of Russia who shot 593 at the European Championships in Zagreb. India’s Manu Bhaker equaled this record in 2018 during the Asian Games in Jakarta.
