Indian shooter Neeru Dhanda moved into the lead in women’s trap qualification at the Asian Games after strong opening rounds, building on her historic ISSF World Cup victory in Italy. As qualification continued, she held a narrow advantage over Qatar’s Bassil Ray and remained in contention for a place in the individual final. Dhanda also helped India stay in the hunt for a team medal, with Aashima Ahlawat and Manisha Keer; China led the standings, while India’s position shifted as competition progressed. The top eight shooters advance to the individual final, and the top three teams earn medals. India also had shooters competing in the women’s 25-meter pistol, though they were behind after the precision stage.
