After clinching the first Bronze medal in the Paris Olympics as an outstanding woman shooter in 10 metres Air pistol shooting raising the Indian Flag high with the entire country proud of her including president and prime minister, Manu Bhaker has again given quite a ray of hope for another Bronze medal with Sarabjot Singh in the 10 metres air pistol mixed match with Rhythm Sangwan and Arjun Singh Cheema not able to make it going out of the game. Both of them have qualified for the Bronze medal match in the doubles mixed ten metres air pistol event. WOW.
Similarly in the 10 metres Air Rifles Men’s final Babuta on whom were India’s tremendous hopes to bag the Bronze unfortunately missed the prestigious medal by just one point.
Babuta’s defeat infact has been a hard luck result as she lost by just one point. There was yet another setback in the Womens’ 10 metres Air Rifles final game in which Ramita Jindal despite her best efforts couldn’t come closer to the Bronze remaining far behind on 7 th position though SAI has still wished her best of luck to keep her moral high.
