India assured of medal in 10m air pistol mixed team event, Manu-Saurabh to fight for gold
They will battle it out with Russia’s Vitalina Batsarashkina and Artem Chernousov in the gold medal match.
The second Indian team in the fray, comprising Verma and Deswal, is also in contention for winning a medal as the two finished third with a total of 386 in the final qualifying round, earning a spot in the bronze medal match against Golnoush Sebghatollahi and Javad Foroughi of Iran.
It was, however, a bad day in the office for the Indian rifle shooters competing in the 10m air mixed event.
Both teams failed to reach the final. While the pairing of Elavenil Valarivan and Divyansh Singh Panwar managed to reach the second qualification round, finishing sixth with a total of 416.1.
The duo of Anjum Moudgil and Deepak Kumar failed to clear the first qualifying round. The pair finished a disappointing 15th for a total 624.6.
