NATIONAL youth shooter Abel Lim has won Singapore's first Asian Youth Games shooting medal.

The 16-year-old fired a total of 685.5 to claim the bronze in the 10-metre air rifle on Thursday. He was a mere 0.6 points behind China duo Wu Jianing and Gao Tingjie who were tied on 686.2.

It required a shoot-off to decide the top prize, with Jianing edging out his compatriot Tingjie 10.5 to 10.3 in a tense final shoot-off at Safra Yishun.
