Shooting - Commonwealth Games Day 5 — Mehuli Ghosh (left) and Apurvi Chandela (right)

At one point in time during their event, Apurvi Chandela was ahead of Mehuli Ghosh. She shot 206.0 after 20 shots, 1.0 ahead of Ghosh. However, Ghosh outshot her compatriot in the next round to send Apurvi into elimination. There won't be any love lost between the two shooters, however, as Chandela herself was able to bag a Bronze medal.

Her 206.0 total after 20 shots means that had she done the same at Rio in 2016, she would've finished in the Bronze position as well, ahead of Chinese Yi Siling.
