The Second Qualification Stage in a bit

50% shots below 10 for Verma-Deswal

Out of the total 60 shots a team gets, the pair of Abhishek Verma and Yashaswini Deswal shoots below 10 a whopping 30 times; including a 7 and multiple 8s.

THIS IS JUST NOT ACCEPTABLE at a stage as big as the OLYMPICS.

FAREWELL, Verma-Deswal

That's all we will have of Abhishek Verma and Yashaswini Deswal in the Mixed 10m Air Pistol Event, or rather even in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

The duo ends a disappointing 17th to be KNOCKED OUT. 

Saurabh Chaudhary-Manu Bhaker top the field

A tad bit inconsistent from Manu Bhaker, but Saurabh Chaudhary has ensured that they finish the qualification round 1 at the leaders of the field.

Saurabh Chaudhary ends with 296

Saurabh Chaudhary ends with a score of 296 out of a possible 300. AMAZING from the Merrut lad.

581 is the score to beat

581 pretty much seems to be the score to beat for Saurabh Chaudary and Manu Bhaker, in order to finish at the Qualification round 1 at the first position.

Saurabh-Manu continue to boss along

Saurabh and Manu's scores have dipped by a bit over the past few minutes, but the youngsters continue to boss this field at the Asaka Shooting Range.

GETTING TOUGHER by the minute for Verma-Deswal

It is getting tougher with each passing minute for the pair of Abhishek Verma and Yashaswini Deswal. At the moment they are ranked a lowly 16th and might not even move to the next stage, it seems.

A string of 9s for Manu Bhaker

Manu Bhaker has shot five consecutive 9s right now. Nothing to worry as of now, but this might get ugly if she continues to spiral down.
