Young Indian shooter Asher Noria fired his way to a gold medal for the second successive time at the International Junior Shooting Competition in Suhl, Germany.

The Indian shot 140+46 to emerge at the top on Wednesday and repeat his 2009 performance, where he had won the gold medal in the same championship.

Compatriot Shyan Masood also shot 140/150 in the qualification round but his score of 40/50 brought him down to fifth position in the finals.

However, Shyan (140) helped his team, comprising Asher (140) and Ankur Mittal (112), to win the bronze medal.
