Anjum sweeps 50m rifle 3P trials

The people cannot expect us to win or pick up 100 points all the time. We’re going to recover and come back. — Pep Guardiola, Man City manager after losing against Norwich City in their EPL match

New Delhi: World championship silver medalist Anjum Moudgil swept the women’s 50m Rifle 3 Positions (3P) national trials, winning the T7 trial here on Sunday. Anjum, thus, added to the T6 title she won in the same event on Saturday. With this, the Punjab girl has won four trials in all in this outing, claiming both the T6 and T7 Rifle Prone events before landing both the women’s 3P titles. Anjum shot 460.2 in the T7 final to improve upon her 456, which she shot to win the T6 on Saturday. This time she was second best to former world champion Tejaswini Sawant of Maharashtra in the qualification round, her 1162, falling two short of Tejaswini’s 1164. But she stamped her class in the finals, leaving both the veterans Lajja Gauswami of Gujarat (456.5) and Tejaswini (442.0) behind in second and third place respectively.
