Rana wins Centre Fire Pistol gold

March 18, 2005 17:44 IST

Jaspal Rana won the gold medal in his pet event -- centre fire pistol -- as India wound up its campaign with a 1-2 finish on the last day of pistol and rifle competitions in the sixth Commonwealth Shooting Championships in Melbourne on Friday.

India's medal count read: 27 medals, including 12 gold, nine silver and six bronze.

Rana, who won the gold in the 2001 edition in Bisley, England, tallied 585/600 to beat the challenge of veteran compatriot Ashok Pandit (576), who took silver.

David Moor of Australia finished third with a total of 572 points.

India added another bronze medal to its kitty through Sushil Ghale, in the men's free rifle three-position.

Ghale totalled 1235.3 (1147 + 88.3) to finish behind New Zealand's Slinn 1242.7 (1145 + 97.7) and Australian Brown M 1237.9 (1145 + 92.9).
