Here’s the updated and clarified text: In the 10m air rifle mixed team qualifications stage of the Paris Olympics on Saturday, Indian shooters were unable to advance.
Ramita Jindal and Arjun Babuta finished in sixth place with a total score of 628.7, while Elavenil Valarivan and Sandeep Singh ended in 12th place with an aggregate score of 626.3. Ramita and Arjun came close to the top five with three shots remaining but fell 1.0 point short of the medal round cut-off.
Babuta had a strong start in the second relay, achieving scores of 10.5, 10.6, 10.5, and 10.9, while Ramita managed 10.2, 10.7, 10.3, and 10.1 in the second series, propelling the team into the top 8.
However, they needed to achieve more to enter the bronze medal round, with shooters from China, Korea, and Kazakhstan dominating the qualifications. A team needs to be in the top four to enter the medal matches.
