Historic Victory as India Claims First Women's Trap Gold at Nagoya

Neeru Dhandha’s triumph in the women’s trap individual event marked India’s first gold in this discipline at the Asian Games. The 26‑year‑old shooter entered the finals after leading the qualification round, but faced a steep challenge when a ‘yellow card’ was issued for exceeding the allotted time on a shot.

Coach Wilson appealed the decision, arguing that the timer had been started prematurely. The jury corrected the timing, allowing Neeru to continue. She responded with steady nerves, secured the required target, and lifted the gold medal, solidifying her place in Indian shooting history.
