Sift Samra not only secured a gold medal but also broke the world record, Asian record, and the Asian Games record. The previous world record was held by Great Britain, the Asian record was held by China and the Asian Games record was previously held by Mongolia.
With this medal, India got its ninth medal in shooting at the event and its fifth overall gold medal at the Asian Games in Hangzhou. The Indian women's team, however, was knocked out of the shotgun skeet event by finishing in the fourth position.
