India’s teenage pistol shooting sensation Palak’s rock steady hands are equally good at deftly handling an artist’s pencil.
On Friday, Palak, 17, shot to a new Asian Games record (242.1) en route to clinching a gold medal in the 10m air pistol individual competition moments after winning a team silver in the same event. Compatriot Esha Singh (239.7) stood second, completing an impressive India 1-2.
