In Shooting, Adriyan Karmakar opened India’s medal account with a silver in the 50m rifle prone event at the ISSF Junior World Cup in Suhl, Germany, yesterday. The 20-year-old shot a score of 626.7, just 0.3 points behind Sweden’s Jesper Johansson, who won gold. Adriyan, who has earlier represented India juniors at the world championships but never in a World Cup, shot confidently and was one of the earliest participants to finish. Adriyan’s performance also set a new junior national record in the event.
