New Delhi: Indian shooter Rhythm Sangwan registered the highest-ever score in the women’s 25m pistol event when she recorded 595 in the qualification round at the ISSF World Cup in Baku today.

Sangwan bettered the previous best of 594, set by Bulgaria’s Diana Iorgova in 1994.

China’s Luna Tao and Germany’s Doreen Vennekamp had also equalled the tally in 2002 and 2023, respectively.
