In this competition, China won the gold medal with 357 points and Kazakhstan won the silver medal with 337 points.

Raiza Dhillon and Parinaaz Dhaliwal have also made it to the individual finals of women’s skeet. Raiza got a chance to reach the final despite finishing in ninth place, as only a maximum of two shooters from a country can be included in the top-8. This performance by Indian shooters has further strengthened India’s medal campaign in the Asian Games.
