End of the road for Elavenil
Elavenil ends her stint at the qualification with a final score of 626.5. That should pretty much be the end of her campaign in Women's 10m Air Rifle.
The worst series for Apurvi under pressure
Apurvi Chandela shoots a below-par 102.2 in her penultimate series. This is by far her worst series of the day, and has slipped as low as 36 in the standings. Ghosts of 2016 Rio de Janeiro, anyone?
Yet another shot below 10 for Elavenil
Elavenil shoots 9.9 in her 53rd shot of the match, and this will cost India dearly. This was her second shot below 10 today!
Norway's Jeanetee Hegg finishes 1.1 behind World Record
Norway's Jeanetee Hegg has completed her sixth series and is currently ranked first. She has shot an impressive 632.9, which is just 1.1 behind the Qualification World Record of 634.0
Elavenil shoots 103.5 in her penultimate set
Elavenil Valarivan shoots a below-par 103.5 in her fifth set. She is currently ranked 15th with just 10 more shots left in the tank. Can she make a comeback?
Inconsistency hurting Apurvi hard
Third shot below ten for Apurvi Chandela as she shoots 9.9 in her second shot of the fifth series. You can not really expect to be a medal contender with such inconsistency at the biggest of stages.
Getting tougher and tougher for the Indians
It is getting tougher for the Indians with each shot. Elavenil has slipped down to 16th in the rankings, while Apurvi is 28th. A medal looks far fetched now, unless they script a sensational turnaround!
The final slipping away from Apurvi Chandela
Apurvi Chandela stays at the 27th position after shooting 104.2 in her fourth set. The final is slowly slipping away from her.
Elavenil shoots her worst of the day
Elavenil Valarivan shoots a 9.7 in the fourth shot of her fifth set. This is her first shot below 10 today and she immediately falls down to 15th in the standings!
Apurvi betters, but not good enough
Apurvi Chandela shoots 104.9 in her third series, but it does not really feel to be enough. She is currently lagging at 27th position and needs to up her game by a lot if she has to stay in contention for the final.
