Indian shooter Subhankar Pramanick bagged the gold medal in the 50-metre rifle prone event at the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) Junior World Cup for pistol, rifle and shotgun on Sunday.
Pramanick shot 205.5 overall to finish at the top of the podium. Czech Republic's Filip Nepejchal came in second by shooting 205.2, with Romania's Dragomir Iordache in third with 185.1 in the final round. The 18-year-old Indian, who was sixth after the third series, staged a brilliant comeback, grabbing the lead at the end of the last series where he scored an almost-perfect 10.8.
Pramanick had qualified in the sixth position after shooting 613.8 over six series. As per the rules, the top eight qualify for the finals. The other Indians in the fray were Mayur Deva Bhanu, V Sarvesh Swaroop Shankar, Fateh Singh Dhillon, P Ajaey Nithish and Syed Araib Parvez, but none of them qualified for the finals, finishing 10th, 11th, 13th, 15th and 16th respectively.
