LIMA, April 20 (Xinhua) -- Jeanette Hegg Duestad and Jon-Hermann Hegg of Norway captured gold in the 10m air rifle mixed team event at the ISSF World Cup here on Sunday, defeating India's Arya Borse and Rudrankksh Patil 17-11 in the final.

Following Sunday's results, the United States returned atop the medal standings with four gold, two silver and one bronze medal. China led in overall count with 11 medals, including three golds. India held third place with six medals, while Norway's victory lifted them to fifth with one gold and three total medals.
