ISSF World Championships 2018 Recap: Ankur Mittal strikes gold for India in Double Trap 

» Skeet Men Junior

Elia Sdruccioli claimed the Gold after both his opponents blew critical shots in the final. Gumihal Singh of India led the field after 40 shots, followed by Sdruccioli and Moschetti. The Indian, though, missed his 44th shot to tie with the Italian.

But, Sdruccioli dropped his forty-fifth shot that put Singh back in the lead. Gumihal lost his composure, missing the final shot, to settle for Bronze due to his lower qualification ranking. Moschetti too missed his final target, handing the Gold to the Italian.

Gold - Elia Sdruccioli (ITA) 55, Silver - Nic Moschetti (USA) 54, Bronze - Gumihal Singh Garcha (IND) 46. 7th Place - Ayush Rudraraju (IND) 119+1+1, 13th Place - Anant Jeet Singh Naruka (IND) 117.
