They beat Sevval Ilayda Tarhan and Yusuf Dikec of Turkey 16-14 at the Chateauroux Shooting Centre.

Manu Bhaker and Sarabjot Singh claimed the bronze for India beating the South Korean pair Oh Ye-jin and Lee Won-ho 16-10.

Bhaker, who won bronze in the women's individual event, became India's first multi-medallist at an Olympic Games since the country's independence in 1947.

In the gold medal contest, the Turkish pair of Tarhan and Dikec shrugged off a slow start to open up an 8-4 lead and were on the brink of victory at 14-12.

But Arunovic and Mikec staged a brilliant comeback to run away with the gold. The victorious duo hugged, tumbled and rolled on the floor in jubilation.
