Naruka-Dhaliwal Complete India's Skeet Team Sweep With Mixed Bronze

Anant Jeet Singh Naruka and Parinaaz Dhaliwal won India's first-ever Asian Games medal in skeet mixed team, taking bronze at the 2026 Asian Games with a final score of 44.

The pair entered the four-team final in fourth place after qualifying with 138, behind Qatar (145), South Korea (143) and China (140). Qatar's early elimination in the final guaranteed India at least bronze, and the Indian duo held firm through gusty conditions to secure the medal, with China taking gold and South Korea silver.

The bronze completes a sweep of all three skeet team events for India at these Games - Naruka had already won men's team bronze alongside Bhavtegh Singh Gill and Mairaj Ahmed Khan, while Dhaliwal had won women's team bronze with Raiza Dhillon and Maheshwari Chauhan, both on Wednesday.
