LIMA (PERU), Apr 20: Paris Olympian Arjun Babuta clinched the silver medal in the men's 10m air rifle event while Arya Borse finished a creditable fifth in the women's event in her first ever final of the ISSF World Cup here.
In a nail-biting final, Babuta (252.3), who had finished fourth at the Paris Games last year, lost by just 0.1 points to reigning Olympic champion Sheng Lihao of China (252.4).
Seasoned Hungary shooter Istvan Peni, with over 40 ISSF medals to his name, bagged the bronze in what was a world-class field with a total of 229.8.
The final featured a star-studded line-up, including reigning world champion and Paris silver medallist Victor Lindgren of Sweden, Jon-Hermann Hegg of Norway and India's former world champion Rudrankksh Patil.
India had a chance for a double podium finish, but Rudrankksh was unfortunately docked his 11th shot by the jury due to a technical infraction. As a result, Indian finished eighth, bowing out at the first elimination stage.
Patil had won gold at the World Cup in Buenos Aires last week.
India's Hriday Hazarika narrowly missed out on the final, finishing 10th with a score of 629.3. In the 10m air rifle women event in the second leg of the ISSF World Cup circuit, Arya finished a good fifth in the 10m air rifle women event after shooting a superb 633.9 on Saturday to qualify for the final.
She finished behind the reigning junior world champion and eventual gold medalist Wang Zifei of China, who set three world records on the day..
Arya, bowed out after the 18th shot of the 24-shot final, her score reading 188.1, just 0.1 behind silver winning reigning world champion Han Jiayu of China, who was fourth at that stage. Wang also led a Chinese sweep of the medals in the event as another upcoming young talent Fan Xinyi, took bronze. She set a new junior qualification record (635.9) as well as the new junior and senior final world records (254.8) in a stunning display of air rifle shooting throughout the day.
That consolidated China's position at the top of the charts with three gold, three silver and four bronze medals.
India are now placed third in the medals tally with two golds, two silvers and one bronze, putting them a gold behind the USA who are in second position.
