A confident Manu Bhaker placed herself in contention for a second Olympic medal as she combined with Sarabjot Singh to make the bronze playoff of the 10m air pistol mixed team event on Monday. However, Arjun Babuta buckled under pressure to finish fourth in the men’s 10m air rifle competition while Ramita Jindal finished seventh in the women’s 10m air rifle final.

Babuta narrowly misses out

Babuta shot a total of 208.4 in the air rifle individual final. A last shot of 9.5, in response to Croatian Miran Maricic’s 10.7, put paid to his hopes of finishing on the podium. The 25-year-old Babuta, who was the last Indian shooter to take aim on Monday, started the 10m air rifle final with a 10.7 and followed that with a 10.2.
