Esha Singh was at her fighting best as she won the 25-metre sports pistol with a 43-40 margin over Manu Bhaker in the third Olympic shooting trials at the Madhya Pradesh Academy on Sunday.
Esha had conceded a lot of ground with a qualification score of 579, as against the top score of 586 by Rhythm Sangwan who placed third, to gain a 0.6 point bonus for winning the final. Just as Manu had done in the first trial, Esha also shot a score better than the World Record in the final.
