Indian shooters Tejaswini Sawant and Anjum Moudgil have won gold and silver respectively in the Women's 50 m Rifle 3 Positions at the 21st Commonwealth Games in Gold Coast on Friday.
Tejaswini registered a new Games record 457.9 points to take the title. Anjum scored 455.7.
Seonaid McIntosh of Scotland took bronze with 444.6.
The 37-year-old Tejaswini Sawant, held on her lead from the first shot in the final and broke the Games record with a score of 457.9 in the final, scoring 152.4 in kneeling and 157.1 in prone positons before the eight finalists got to the elimination stage.
The previous record of 449.1 was set by Jasmine Ser Xiang Wei (Singapore) in Glasgow in 2014.
Tejaswini had won silver in the 50 m rifle prone on Thursday. She had won two CWG gold in the 10 m air rifle events back in Melbourne 2006.
Anjum Moudgil had led the qualification with a Games record herself and sustained her form into the final where she shot 455.7, holding second place throughout with scores of 151.9 in kneeling and 157.1 in prone.
With these two medals at the start of Day 9, the Indian camp in Gold Coast will have at least some thing to cheer for after triple jumper Rakesh Babu and walker KT Irfan were banned from the Games Village for breaking the no needles policy.
