Manu, Om Prakash end 4th after qualification high
This was India’s fourth fourth-place finish in the World Cup stage 2.
New Delhi: Manu Bhaker and Om Prakash Mitharwal missed out on a medal and finished fourth in the 10m mixed team air pistol event after shooting a qualification world record at the ongoing ISSF World Cup in Changwon, South Korea, on Thursday.
This was India’s fourth fourth-place finish in the World Cup stage 2.
The pair had earlier shot a qualification world record in the event, a combined 778 to claim the record by a point from Germans Christian and Sandra Reitz, who won silver after qualifying in fifth place.
The Chinese pair of Ji Xiaojing and Wu Jiayu won gold with a world record score of 487.7 in the finals. Serbia’s Damir Mikec and Zorana Arunovic took bronze.
Eight Indians have so far reached seven finals at the Changwon International Shooting centre, including in two team events, but so far only Shahzar Rizvi has won a medal — in the men’s 10m air pistol.
