Indian shooter Neeru Dhanda won gold in the women’s trap event at the 2026 Asian Games. She scored 28 out of 30 in the final, missing only two shots. Her score set a new Asian record. China’s Sun Yungong won silver, while Kuwait’s Hajar Abdulmalik took bronze. Dhanda also became the first Indian woman to win an Asian Games medal in the women’s trap event. The 26-year-old shooter is from Haryana. She started shooting after being inspired by her cousin Lakshya Sheron. Dhanda had earlier won gold at the ISSF World Cup and Asian Championships. This is India’s fifth gold at the Games.
