India wins women’s 50m rifle team silver at Asian Games

India won silver in the women’s 50m rifle three-positions team event at the Asian Games on September 26, with Tilottama Sen, Vidarsa K Vinod and Ashi Chouksey combining for the second-place finish. China took gold and Kazakhstan won bronze. The Indian trio’s qualification scores determined the team standings. Reports put India’s combined total at either 1,763 or 1,763.90, while China’s total was reported as 1,773 or 1,773.10. The difference in precision was not explained, so the totals do not establish a single definitive margin. Kazakhstan’s reported score was 1,754 or 1,754.89. Sen and Vidarsa also qualified for the eight-shooter individual final. Sen scored 590 points and finished third in qualifying, while Vidarsa scored 588. Accounts differ on Vidarsa’s placing: some report sixth and another fifth. She qualified regardless of the ranking discrepancy. The final is scheduled for later on September 26, but the available information does not confirm its result. Chouksey scored 585 and did not advance to the individual final. Her score, alongside those of Sen and Vidarsa, counted toward India’s team result.
