Sarnobat and Sayyed shot an impressive 1158 to finish ahead of Australia's Lalita Yauhleuskaya and Linda Ryan (1148) and England's Gorgs Geikie and Julia Lydall (1122).This, incidentally, is also a new Games record, and came moments after Abhinav Bindra and Gagan Narang's record-breaking gold-winning feat in 10m air rifle event.
