- By JO ATKINSON

Seonaid Mcintosh has won the 50m rifle prone title at the World Shooting Championsh­ips in South Korea.

The 22-year-old, who claimed team bronze for Great Britain alongside sister Jen earlier this week, shot a perfect 10.9 with her final effort in Changwon to finish on 623.3 points.

Germany’s Isabella Straub took silver, 0.2pts behind, with Slovakia’s Daniela Demjen Peskova a further 0.4pts back.

Edinburgh’s Mcintosh said: “I don’t think I’m quite aware of what it is I’ve done yet.

“Winning a team medal helped me because I wasn’t so nervous today, plus I learned from my match yesterday to allow me to put in a better performanc­e today.

“It was a tough competitio­n. I just tried to work on making today’s performanc­e better than yesterday’s and didn’t really think about the outcome.”
