Aishwary Tomar wins silver
In the ISSF World Cup Final event, seasoned player Aiswary Pratap Singh Tomar got India its first-ever medal in rifle shooting. In the men’s 50m 3 Positions event, he ended his campaign with a silver medal after ending with a shot of 413.3.
The 50m 3P event has been newly introduced in the finals, which is similar to what the format is in the LA Olympics.

The division comes with 10 shots each in kneeling and prone positions, 20 shots in the standing position, and 10 standing shots for the elimination round.
The ISSF World Cup Final will conclude on December 8, 2025, with the Women’s and Men’s Skeet Final events and the Trap Women’s and Men’s Finals.
The event saw a 15-member team representing India, which was led by recent world Champion Samrat Rana and included top shooters like Suruchi Singh and Manu Bhaker.
The event hosts some of the best shooters who have performed brilliantly throughout the season. These shooters will compete in 12 individual Olympic categories, fighting to win the title of best shooter of the year.
