Soon after pipping China’s bronze medallist Qianxun Yao (221.7), Suruchi regained the lead with a 10.5, even as France’s silver winner Camille Jedrzejewski (241.7) managed just 9.5.
A 9.5 in her final shot was enough for the Indian to secure the top prize as Jedrzejewski shot 9.8.
In the qualifications, Suruchi was placed second with 588, while double Olympic medallist Manu Bhaker ended 25th after shooting 574.
Bhaker, who was doing commentary in the final, expressed her delight after her younger compatriot’s gold medal. PTI AH AH DDV
