Bindra into 10m air rifle final |
Abhinav Bindra mounted a stunning recover to qualify for the finals of the men`s 10m air rifle qualification event with the slimmest of margins, but the news was disappointing for his compatriot Gagan Narang who squandered a brilliant start to exit the event.The pair - Olympic medalists both and India`s biggest shooting medal prospects at the Rio Games - produced contrasting performances at the Olympic Shooting Centre on Aug 8 to finish seventh and 23rd respectively. Bindra, who won gold at the 2008 Beijing Games, shot 625.7 (a series of 104.3, 104.4, 105.9, 103.8, 102.1 and 105.2) and Narang, a silver medal winner in London four years ago, fared poorer with 621.7 (105.03, 104.5, 102.1, 103.4, 101.6 and 104.8).
