Rubina Francis: Indian para-shooter Rubina Francis advanced to the women's 10m air pistol SH1 final in the ongoing Paris Paralympics after finishing seventh in the qualification round here at Chateauroux on Saturday.

Rubina failed to get a good start in the qualification round as she shot back-to-back 90s in the opening two series and was placed out of the top eight in the competition. She bounced back strong and made improvements in the third series to accumulate 95 followed by 92, 95 and 94 respectively to take her total to 556-13x and cement a spot in the final.

Rubina gradually bettered her standing from 13th after the first series to seventh in the end. She will now aim for the medal in the final scheduled at 6:15 pm IST later in the day.
