Paris Olympics: Swapnil Makes Final Of Men’s 50m Rifle 3 Positions; Tomar Misses Out (Ld)
Olympian Aishwary Pratap Singh Tomar: Swapnil Kusale handled with admirable composure the trials and tribulations of a gruelling Olympic qualification round in the Men's 50m Rifle 3 Positions (3P), making it to the final and giving India the fifth shot at a medal in the shooting competitions in 33rd Olympic Games here on Wednesday.
Shooting a top-drawer 590 over 20 shots each in the Kneeling, Prone and Standing positions, Kusale took the seventh place in the elite 44-man field and maintained his hopes of winning a medal in his maiden outing in the Olympics.
Manu Bhaker has helped convert two of the previous four shots earned by India into bronze medals, first in the women’s 10m Air Pistol and thereafter, partnering Sarabjot Singh in the Air Pistol Mixed Team event. These are India’s only two medals at the Paris Games so far.
