Jeanette Hegg Duestad had already won gold in the women's 50m rifle 3 positions, but there was still hope for India to claim a medal, and Sift Kaur Samra delivered. Samra shot 404 in the qualification round and 408 in the final to total 812 outscored by Duestad's 833 and Emely Jaeggi's 819 for silver. This is India's first medal at the 2022 ISSF World Cup in Guadalajara, Spain.

The bronze medal is India's first medal at the 2022 ISSF World Cup. India's best performance at the tournament was fourth place by Shreyasi Singh in 2018 in the women's double trap. This is also a big win for Samra, who had previously failed to make the finals of the 50m rifle 3 positions event at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

"I am very happy, and I gave my best. I was just focusing on giving my best shot and was not thinking about the result. I felt good that all my hard work paid off, and I am looking forward to continuing this momentum," said an overjoyed Samra.

India's medal hope for the next competition will be Arshdeep Singh, who qualified for the men's double trap final, which will be held on May 22.
