The pair of Bhaker and Chaudhary had won the gold in the 10m Air Pistol Mixed Team event at the ISSF World Cup held in February in New Delhi.

Bhaker had a disappointing Wednesday in Beijing as she had failed to qualify for the 10m Air Pistol women's final. However, she buried the disappointment to shine in the mixed team event alongside Saurabh Chaudhary.

Heena Sidhu and Rizvi Shahzar finished the qualification round with 479 points at the 12th spot and had failed to qualify for the final.

Earlier in the day, Anjum Moudgil and Divyansh Singh Panwar opened India's gold medal tally at the ISSF World Cup in Beijing.

Just like Bhaker and Chaudhary, Moudgil and Panwar defeated a Chinese pair in the 10m Air Rifle Mixed Team final.

Moudgil and Panwar had qualified for the final at the sixth spot in the qualification with 522.7 points. Apurvi Chandela and Deepak Kumar also made the final after finishing fifth in the qualification with 522.8 points.
