Paris Olympics: Manu Bhaker Qualifies For Women's 25M Pistol Final, Esha Misses Out
Another Indian Esha Singh, the Asian Games medallist in this event, meanwhile, was placed 18th after scoring 581-17x and missed the cut for the final. Only the top eight shooters make it to the medal round in shooting.
Hungary's Veronika Major topped the qualifications stage with 592-27x points, equalling the qualification Olympic record. The women's 25m pistol final is scheduled to be held on Saturday at 13:00 IST.
In the qualification stage, Manu was placed third after the precision round with scores of 97, 98 and 99 for a total of 294. At this stage, Esha was placed 10th with scores of 95, 96 and 100 for a total of 291.
In the rapid round, Manu shot 100, 98 and 98 for a total of 296 and moved up to the second spot. Esha, on the other hand, could manage 97, 96 and 97 for a total of 290, and slipped to the 18th place.
If she wins a medal on Saturday, Manu would become the first Indian athlete to win three medals in individual events at the same edition of the Olympics.
The shooter from Haryana has already bagged two bronze medals in her second appearance in the Olympics -- the first in the women's 10m Air Rifle event and another bronze in the 10m Air Pistol Mixed Team event at the Paris Games.
She could also become the most successful Indian shooter at the Olympic Games. It would also be an unprecedented Indian record if she won three medals in the same Olympics.
