India's 14-year-old shooter Naamya Kapoor fired her way to the gold medal, ahead of celebrated compatriot Manu Bhaker, in the women's 25m pistol event at the ISSF Junior world Championship, in Lima, on Monday.
Kapoor shot 36 in the final to claim the top prize. She finished ahead of France's Camille Jedrzejewski (33) and 19-year-old Olympian Bhakar (31), who has already won three gold medals so far in the tournament.
Bhaker settled for bronze after the French markswoman prevailed in a shoot-off.
Another Indian shooter, Rhythm Sangwan, finished fourth as the country dominated the final.
Kapoor was sixth in qualification with a total of 580, as Bhaker (587) and Sangwan (586) grabbed the top two spots.
The Delhi girl had fired the second-best score of 583 in qualification to finish fifth in the national shooting selection trials at the Dr Karni Singh Range in August.
India lead the standings with seven gold, six silver and three bronze for a total of 16 medals.
This is the first multi-discipline shooting event since the Tokyo Olympics, with as many as 32 nations and nearly 370 athletes participating.
