Another heartbreak for the 10m air rifle mixed team as Sandeep Singh and Elavenil V from Tamil Nadu and Arjun Babuta/Ramita Jindal who had high hopes failed to make the cut.
Elavenil and Sandeep finished at 12th whereas the duo of Ramita and Arjun gave tough fight to finish in 6th
Manu Bhaker carried India's shooting medal hopes and qualified to medal round which will happen tomorrow 3:30 pm.
