India's Elavenil Valarivan took home the silver medal in 10m Air Rifle event of Summer Universiade in Napoli, Italy on Thursday.
Valarivan, the 2018 ISSF World Junior champion, scored 249 points in the final. She was edged by Czech Republic's Lucie Brazdova, who scored 250.3 points to clinch gold.
"I am really thrilled with this achievement and really want to thank all my coaches who have trained me so well and without their correct guidance, this would not have been possible. I am happy and this win will give me great confidence going ahead into the Junior World Cup, Suhl," a delighted Elavenil said.
"I am proud of Elavenil and her achievement shows how talented she is. She is part of Project Leap and has over the years shown great progress with all the training and coaching that she is undergoing as part of this ambitious nurturing programme. She is a great shooter and I believe she has all the ingredients required to become a champion shooter," Narang, founder of GNSPF, said.
Valarivan will be seen at the ISSF Junior World Cup 2019, in Suhl, Germany, which is scheduled to start from July 12.
