Abhinav Shaw became the youngest gold medallist at the Khelo India Youth Games when he teamed up with Mehuli Ghosh to help West Bengal win the 10m air-rifle mixed team event in Pune on Sunday. He dealt with the qualification and the final with a calm that would be the hallmark of any marksman. In the final, where each series has a time limit, Mehuli decided to let her young teammate take the first crack. He shoots pretty quickly and when we have a minute to complete our series, it helps to have him go first since he shoots quickly," said Mehuli. The West Bengal team scored 501.7 points in the final, better than their 498.2 in the Junior final and the 498.8 in the Youth final in Thiruvananthapuram, the release stated.
