APUNEW DELHI : India’s Apurvi Chandela shot her way to a second successive gold medal and emerged as the ‘Shooter of the Tournament’ in the Swedish Cup Grand Prix in Savsjo, Sweden.

The 23-year-old Chandela shot 208.9 in the final to clinch the top prize in women’s 10-metre tri-series event.

Chandela, who has already secured a quota for the Rio Olympics, won her first gold medal of the tournament late Tuesday with a world record score of 211.2, to surpass the feat of Chinese Olympic gold medallist Yi Siling (211).

Chandela had clinched the gold in the National Championships held last month.
