Kaur wins bronze in 50m rifle 3P at ISSF Munich

Munich, June 12 (UNI) India’s rifle shooter Sift Kaur Samra added another feather to her cap by clinching a bronze medal in the women’s 50m rifle 3 positions event at the ISSF World Cup 2025 here on Thursday.
The 23-year-old, who had earlier scripted history with a world record at the 2022 Asian Games, exhibited nerves of steel during the final, scoring 453.1 to finish third in a high-pressure eight-woman contest.
Despite being in the middle of the leaderboard after the kneeling and prone rounds, Samra showed tremendous grit and consistency in the standing series. Her series of well-timed 10s propelled her up the rankings, eventually placing her just 0.9 points behind silver medallist Emely Jaeggi of Switzerland (464.8). The gold medal was won by Norway’s two-time Olympian Jeanette Hegg Duestad, who finished with a commanding 466.9.
