The Haryana duo delivered a composed performance under pressure, clinching the gold medal with a 41-39 victory over the Punjab pair that included national record holder Ganemat Sekhon.<\/p>\n<p>Despite a strong fight from Ganemat and Bhavtegh, Haryana proved to be the better team on the day, securing their win in a closely contested final. Punjab had to settle for silver, while Telangana\u2019s Munek Battula and Rashmmi Rathore took home the bronze after defeating Madhya Pradesh\u2019s Rituraj S Bundela and Vanshika Tiwari with a score of 37.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in the qualification round, Punjab had topped the leaderboard with a score of 138+16, closely followed by Haryana (138+14), Madhya Pradesh (133+4), and Telangana (133+3). Despite Punjab\u2019s strong showing in the qualifiers, Haryana turned the tables in the final.<\/p>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2>Ganemat Sekhon and Raiza Dhillon\u2019s history<\/h2>\n<p>Just before the Skeet Mixed Team event, Ganemat Sekhon had set a new national record in women\u2019s skeet with a near-perfect score of 124 out of 125 in the qualification round. The Punjab shooter missed only one target across five series.<\/p>\n<p>Ganemat has been a consistent performer on the international stage. She became the first Indian female shooter to win a medal at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/go\/issf-rifle-world-cup\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">ISSF World Cup<\/a> in 2021 when she secured bronze in New Delhi. She followed it up with gold in the skeet mixed team event at the 2023 ISSF World Cup in Cairo and silver in the individual skeet event at the ISSF World Cup in Almaty. She also won three medals at the Asian Championships in Doha and Kuwait City.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Raiza Dhillon, who played a crucial role in Haryana\u2019s gold medal win, has made significant strides in Indian shooting. She became the first Indian woman to qualify for an Olympic skeet event after securing a quota for the Paris 2024 Olympics. A three-time Asian Championship medalist, she has shown great progress in recent years and will be a key name to watch in Indian skeet shooting.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-post-rating-widget\">\n<p><template id=\"post-rating-feedback-modal-template\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-feedback-box\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-content\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-data\">\n<p>Why did you not like this content?<\/p>\n<p><textarea id=\"dislike-feedback-text\" rows=\"4\" placeholder=\"Please type your feedback...\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<button class=\"close\">Cancel<\/button><br \/>\n<button class=\"submit\">Submit<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-widget-parent hidden\">\n<div class=\"rating-parent-container\">\n<div class=\"rating-content-holder\">\n<p>Was this article helpful?<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-action-container\">\n<div class=\"like-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-like-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"like\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"like selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"dislike-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-dislike-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"dislike\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-dis-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"avatar selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nThank You for feedback\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"tag-cloud\">\n<div class=\"tags-text\">\n<div class=\"scrollable-content-holder  article-padding\">\n<p class=\"article-p  \">Quick Links<\/p>\n<p><button id=\"pnAdvancerLeft\" class=\"pn-Advancer pn-Advancer_Left \" type=\"button\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"background: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/article\/article-scroll-left.svg\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button><\/p>\n<nav id=\"pnProductNav\" class=\"pn-ProductNav\">\n<\/nav>\n<p><button id=\"pnAdvancerRight\" class=\"pn-Advancer pn-Advancer_Right \" type=\"button\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"background: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/article\/article-scroll-right.svg\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<p>More from Sportskeeda<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<span class=\"publisher-name\">Edited by Sudeshna Banerjee<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script> \nvar fbPixelFired = false;\nvar pixelID = \"952063904834769\";\ndocument.addEventListener(\"scroll\", loadFBPixel, { once: true, passive: true });\ndocument.addEventListener(\"mousemove\", loadFBPixel, { once: true, passive: true });\nfunction loadFBPixel() {\nif(fbPixelFired) {\nreturn;\n}\nfbPixelFired = true;\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?
