Cairo, Nov 14 (PTI) Indian shooter Esha Singh clinched her maiden individual World Championship medal — a bronze in the women’s 25m pistol but Paris Olympics medallist Manu Bhaker yet again missed out on a podium finish, here Friday.

The Indian shot a score of 30 in the final, to finish behind in-form Chinese Yao Qianxun (silver, score: 38) and Korea’s reigning Olympic Champion Yang Jiin (gold, score: 40).

Esha’s effort came as India wrapped up engagements in the 10-Olympic events on schedule at the ongoing tournament with a historic haul of one gold, four silver and two bronze medals.

Overall, India lie third on the table with three gold, five silver and four bronze medals, behind leaders China with 10 golds and Korea, who are second with six gold medals.
