From Team Silver to Individual Disappointment: India's 50m Rifle 3P Journey

India entered the 50m rifle three‑position competition with confidence after winning silver in the team event, where Aishwary, Neeraj and Rudraksh posted a combined 1762.94x, trailing China’s 1766.95x. However, the individual finals proved tougher. Aishwary held an early lead, climbed to sixth after the prone stage, improved to fifth following the standing series, and finished the competition in the same position with 327.6 points. Neeraj struggled in the final round, ending with 299.0 points and a last‑place finish among the eight finalists. Their performances contrast sharply with the earlier team success.
