There were three Indians in the junior final, which Rashmika won with a score of 241.9. The other Indians, Vanshika Chaudhary (194.7) and Urva Chaudhary (151.9), finished fourth and sixth, respectively.
"It was my first final, so I was nervous in the beginning, but I decided to focus on my target and not think about anything else," Rashmika told TOI.
The 17-year-old, who started shooting three years ago in Delhi, spoke about her sporting journey. "My father is in the army so we have been to many cities, and have tried many sports including horse riding, badminton and swimming. When we came to Delhi, I tried shooting," she said.
Rashmika also explained the challenges of being a left-handed shooter. "It was difficult for me, as I am a left-handed shooter. For the first five months, I shot with my left hand, using a right-handed grip," said Rashmika, a Class 12 student of Loreto Convent School.
In the senior category, Manu Bhaker shot 219.7 in the final to take bronze. The gold medal went to China's Qianke Ma (243.2), while Korea's Jiin Yang secured silver with 241.6.

Sources: Raiders considered top landing spot for Bengals star Trey Hendrickson
Report: Raiders Emerging as Frontrunners to Trade for Trey Hendrickson(Getty Images) The Trey Hendrickson trade rumors just got a whole lot louder, and Raider Nation is at the center of it. According to sources, an NFL executive didn't hold back when asked about where the Cincinnati Bengals star pass rusher might land next. His answer? The Las Vegas Raiders. With Tom Brady, Mark Davis, and GM John Spytek pushing a full-throttle win-now mentality, Hendrickson-to-Vegas is suddenly the buzz that has NFL fans losing it online. NFL executive says the Raiders are the frontrunners to land Trey Hendrickson The quote making waves came straight from Hondo Carpenter, 'I have no doubt the Raiders are the frontrunners. Tom Brady and Mark Davis want to win now, and John (Spytek) has no fear when it comes to making bold moves. The kid (Hendrickson is 30), that move is the mentality of Pete Carroll, he's not afraid of anything that could improve the team.' That's a pretty strong endorsement of where the Raiders stand in these talks. While nothing is close to being finalized, it's clear Hendrickson's name is being tied more heavily to Vegas than anywhere else right now. This whole saga started because Hendrickson, despite being one of the NFL's best edge rushers, is frustrated with his contract. He wants more guaranteed money, and the Bengals haven't exactly rushed to fix the situation. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Shaping Energy Transition at Siemens Energy Siemens Energy Read More Undo Reports suggest Cincinnati is holding firm on its price which could include a player plus a 2026 first-round pick. At 30, Hendrickson still has plenty left in the tank, and that's why teams are circling. Why the Raiders make perfect sense as a landing spot Pairing Hendrickson with Maxx Crosby? That's instant nightmare fuel for opposing quarterbacks. The Raiders already have cap space flexibility and a front office that's shown it isn't scared of bold moves. Add Tom Brady's influence in the building, plus Mark Davis' constant push for relevance, and this feels exactly like the type of blockbuster Vegas would pull off. While the Raiders have been labeled 'frontrunners,' they're not the only team with interest. The Colts, Jaguars, and Seahawks have all been linked to Hendrickson at different points in this drama. Any deal would come down to who's willing to match Cincinnati's asking price and not every team is ready to cough up first-round capital for a 30-year-old pass rusher, even one as dominant as Hendrickson.

Carolina Hurricanes bring back Jesper Fast in development role post-retirement
Credit: Stephen R. Sylvanie-USA TODAY Sports The Carolina Hurricanes announced that former winger Jesper Fast is rejoining the organization as a development coach just months after confirming his retirement from the NHL. Fast, whose career was cut short by a neck injury in the 2023-24 regular season finale, will now shift to shaping the team's next generation of players. The 33-year-old is set to begin his coaching career in the 2025-26 season. Jesper Fast joins Carolina Hurricanes development staff as coach after NHL retirement and career-ending injury Fast's playing days ended prematurely after he sustained a neck injury that required surgery and kept him sidelined throughout the 2024-25 season. Despite hopes of a return, he announced his retirement in June 2025. By transitioning into a development coach role, Fast continues his affiliation with Carolina, marking his sixth season connected with the organization. The Swedish winger first signed with the Hurricanes in 2020 on a three-year, $6 million contract before agreeing to a two-year, $4.8 million extension in 2023. Known for his elite skating ability, strong hockey sense, and penalty-killing skills, Fast carved out a reputation as a reliable two-way forward during his NHL career. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 15 Most Gorgeous Women, Ranked BigGlobalTravel Undo Jesper Fast's NHL career highlights and new coaching role with Carolina Hurricanes Originally a sixth-round draft pick by the New York Rangers in 2010, Fast went on to play 703 career NHL games. Over 11 seasons, he tallied 91 goals and 248 points while consistently providing speed and defensive awareness that made him one of the league's top utility wingers. In his new role, Fast will work closely with Carolina's prospects, focusing on translating his pace and defensive instincts into development opportunities for younger players. He joins fellow coaches Daniel Bochner and Kevin McCarthy under the leadership of Peter Harrold, the team's director of player development. Fast's addition further strengthens the Hurricanes' player development group as they look to maximize the growth of their pipeline heading into future seasons. Jesper Fast's shift from the ice to behind the bench represents both an ending and a new beginning. While his NHL career was cut short by injury, his return as a development coach ensures that his speed, work ethic, and hockey IQ will continue to influence the Carolina Hurricanes. The organization gains not only a seasoned former player but also a mentor prepared to guide its next wave of talent.
