Udhayveer Sidhu wins gold for India at the ISSF World Cup in Cairo, securing the men’s 10m air pistol title. Multiple outlets report that he beats Olympic champion Christian Reitz in the final.
The reports add that Sidhu wins his maiden World Cup gold medal and finishes with a score of 240.6 points. One account notes he begins the competition ranked fourth and then takes the lead through consistent shooting, including outperforming other top competitors such as Olympic medallist Paolo Monna. Another outlet links the moment to Sidhu’s personal journey, contrasting an earlier omission from the Asian Games with his later World Cup success.
While the framing differs—some emphasize the competition outcome, others the athlete’s background or preparation—sources agree on the key result: Sidhu defeats Olympic-level rivals and claims gold in Cairo’s men’s 10m air pistol event.
