The 21-year-old Elavenil and 18-year-old Divyansh clinched the mixed top honours to give India their fourth gold of the marquee tournament. For Divyansh, it was his fourth mixed gold at the senior World Cups. Mixed shooting events are set to make their Olympic debut at the upcoming Tokyo Games, scheduled to be held in July-August. "I don't think so it has any impact," Elavenil said when asked if the thought of her partner's performance impacts her. "Because, at the end of the day, although it's the cumulative score, but I feel that at that moment you are not thinking about what the other person is shooting. For a particular shot you are focussing on yourself. "Maybe after the shot, though, you might go into that and say 'oh he has shot that and I have shot this', but I don't think, at that particular moment, it is making any difference," she said.
