India registered two more gold-silver finishes in both the individual men's and women's 10m air pistol competitions. With Rimita also winning silver in the women's 10m air rifle, India's tally at the end of the day stood at three gold and four silver out of the total 12 medals on offer.

Shiva Narwal and Sarabjot Singh began the Indian pistol dominance, the former prevailing over the latter 16-12 in the final. The duo had never really looked challenged throughout the day, finishing first and third in qualification and 1-2 at the top-eight stage to set up a title clash.

Then it was the turn of Palak and Manu Bhaker to dominate the women's pistol. In a deviation from the earlier pattern, while Palak topped the qualification, Manu clinched the final and eighth qualifying place with a score of 565 on higher inner 10s.

She then topped the top eight stage with a 250.6 to Palak's second-place score of 248.1. However, it was to be Palak's day in the end and to her credit she played a confident first big ISSF final for a 17-9 verdict in her favour.

France won the only other gold of the day as reigning junior world champion Oceanne Mueller won the women's 10m air rifle event while hosts Germany, Moldova, Poland and Uzbekistan were the other medal winners on the day.

There are a total of eight more medal days on the schedule and coming up are four more finals on Thursday, all with Indian interests, namely in the mixed air events and the trap shooting competitions.
