India's disappointment in Shooting continues
Five events in three days so far, and yet not a single medal for India in Shooting - a sport they were expected to dominate at the Tokyo Olympics.
That's all the action we had from the Indian shooters today at the Asaka Shooting Range.
Thank you for tuning in! See you tomorrow when the Mixed 10m Air Rifle and Pistol teams take to the range, and hopefully clinch India's first medal in the sport.
