Neeru makes first world cup final, finishes fourth in women’s trap

New Delhi, Jul 12 (UNI) National Games champion Neeru Dhanda, reached a first ever world cup final to finish a creditable fourth in women’s trap, on the penultimate day of the fourth and final International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) World Cup Shotgun stage, currently underway in Lonato, Italy. She shot 30 out of her first 35 targets in the 50-shots final.

Having taken the sixth and final qualifying spot by virtue of winning (2-1) a shoot-off over last year’s New Delhi World Cup Final winner Alessia Iezzi (Italy), Neeru eventually went out due to a higher bib number, after tying with bronze medalist and previous Nicosia world cup stage winner Lada Denisova of the Neutral Athletes (AIN) and Paris Olympics silver medalist Silvana Maria Stanco (Italy), at that elimination stage. Australia’s Laetisha Scanlan won gold with 45 hits.
