India’s challenge in the men’s 10m air pistol event at the Paris Olympics ended in disappointment as both Sarabjot Singh and Arjun Singh Cheema failed to qualify for the medal round.
So close for Sarabjot Singh
Sarabjot Singh, who had shown promise in the early stages of the qualification round with a perfect 100 score in one series, narrowly missed out on a place in the final, finishing in ninth position. A subpar score in the penultimate series proved costly for the Indian shooter.
Arjun Singh Cheema disappoints
Arjun Singh Cheema, who was initially in contention for a place in the final, saw his chances diminish after a poor fourth series. He finished in 18th position, unable to overcome the competition.
Sarabjot and Cheema now focused on mixed event
The results are a setback for the Indian shooting team, which had high hopes for the duo. Both Sarabjot and Cheema will now focus their attention on the mixed team event, where they will have another opportunity to secure a medal for India.
The intense competition at the Olympics has highlighted the challenges faced by Indian shooters, and the team will need to regroup and refocus for the remaining events.
