India’s women’s trap shooting team wins a silver medal in the women’s trap team event at the 2026 Asian Games in Japan on Tuesday. The team includes Neeru Dhanda, Aashima Ahlawat and Manisha Keer.
Times of India and Free Press Journal report the trio totals 328 points, finishing second behind China, which scores 346. The outlets add that Neeru Dhanda’s 118 in qualification stands out, with Times of India saying it places her joint-second individually and earns her a spot in the individual final, while Free Press Journal describes her 118 as a games record and notes she qualifies for the eight-shooter final as a joint topper. Neeru, Ahlawat and Keer also receive placements in the individual event, with Ahlawat and Keer finishing 16th and 23rd respectively.
NDTV highlights the silver medal win and the team’s composition, while also framing it as India’s continued success in shooting at the Games. Times of India contextualizes the result as India’s second medal in this event and places it within the broader shooting medal haul at the Nagoya edition of the Games.
