Indian mixed air rifle

Indian shooters Ramita Jindal and Arjun Babuta were eliminated in the 10m air rifle mixed team qualification round at the Paris Olympics, finishing sixth with a score of 628.7, just 1.0 point shy of advancing to the medal matches. Their efforts included a commendable second series performance, but it ultimately fell short of the top four necessary for qualification. The second Indian pair, Elavenil Valarivan and Sandeep Singh, finished 12th with a score of 626.3, also missing out on medal contention. The qualification round saw teams from China, Korea, and Kazakhstan secure the top three spots, advancing to the gold and bronze medal matches. This competition highlighted the intense precision required in shooting sports, where even minor score differences can determine the outcome. Both Indian teams demonstrated strong performances but were unable to overcome the competitive field.
