Elavenil shot 251.7 in the finals to help India extend their newly found dominance in the event. India has now won three out of four gold medals in the women¡¯s 10m Air Rifle this year.

It¡¯s a wonderful start to the #Shooting WorldCup in Rio as 20yr old #TOPSAthlete @elavalarivan wins a gold in women¡¯s 10m air rifle with a score of 251.7.

We congratulate her!@KirenRijiju @DGSAI pic.twitter.com/0q3XPlYVyK
Elavenil was dishing out a master-class with a series of high 10s, but it still went down right to the wire. Seonaid and Elavenil battled hard, but it was the Indian who prevailed for a milestone win.
What a start to the senior career for young Elavenil. She sure is destined for even bigger things.
We hope it¡¯s just one of the many medals she wins for India.
