India’s Elavenil Valarivan won silver in the women’s 10m air rifle final at the Asian Games on Sunday. The 27-year-old led for most of the final but lost the top spot in the last four shots. Japan’s Taichi Hinata won gold with 253.0 points, setting a new Games record. Elavenil scored 252.4 points, while South Korea’s Ban Hyojin took bronze. The medal was Elavenil’s second of the day after she helped India win team silver. Her individual silver is only the second silver for India in this event since Gagan Narang’s 2010 medal.
