Singh and Kamaljeet Win Air Pistol Mixed-Team Gold

Suruchi Singh and Kamaljeet won the 10m air pistol mixed-team gold for India at the Asian Games on September 25, finishing with 484.6 points, 6.6 points ahead of South Korea. South Korea took silver with 478.0, while Iran won bronze with 415.8. The result gave India its second gold medal of the Games. The Indian pair had also led qualification, scoring 587 points, including 29 inner tens, to reach the final. Their final score was higher than their qualifying total and secured the title over the South Korean pair of Suhyeon Hong and Gaeun Choo. Reports described 484.6 as an Asian record, surpassing a previous mark of 481.3 attributed to Uzbekistan. The available reporting did not include an official results sheet or record confirmation, so the record claim could not be independently verified from the material provided. The mixed-team victory followed disappointing individual qualification results for the Indian shooters. Kamaljeet finished ninth and Suruchi Singh 26th in their respective individual events, with neither advancing to an individual final. The mixed-team competition gave them another opportunity to contend for a medal, which they converted into gold.
