New Delhi : Three Indian shooters, including Olympic champion Abhinav Bindra, are among the top-10 in latest world shooting rankings released by International Shooting Sports Federation (ISSF).
Bindra, who won India’s maiden individual gold medal at Beijing in August, retained his second spot while World Cup Final gold medallist Gagan Narang moved up three places to the sixth spot in the men’s 10-metre air rifle event.
In the men’s double trap event, Ronjan Singh Sodhi retained his 10th spot. Sodhi was world No.1 in June after he won gold in Belgrade World Cup.
“I am satisfied to move up few places in the latest world rankings and will try and do the same in the other two events (50-metre three position and prone) as well,” said Narang.
“I will now target to break into the top-3 bracket through the World Cups in 2009. I am going to take the 10m air rifle event a little easy now and work harder on the 50m three position and prone events for a year,” he said.
