Asian Games 2018 Shooting Day 6 Live Score: Heena Sidhu wins 10m Air Pistol Final Bronze

A day that promised so much ended in disappointment for India despite picking up a bronze medal. They had four shooters in contention for a medal on day 6. Of the lot, only Heena Sidhu, who won BRONZE in the Women's 10m Air Pistol had any medal to show for her effort. Manu Bhaker, who won the Commonwealth Games gold earlier this year struggled and finished fifth.

While the Men's 300m Standard Rifle Final saw India's Harjinder Singh and Amit Kumar finish fourth and fifth respectively. India will be looking to improve their tally on day seven when the Men's 25m Rapid Fire Pistol Qualification-Stage 2 takes place along with the final. Join us again tomorrow for that but until then, it's goodbye.

And it is all over in the Women's 10m Air Pistol Qualification. Both Manu Bhaker and Heena Sidhu are through to the final.

With Manu Bhaker in third and now Heena in fifth, India look like they might have two shooters in the Women's 10m Air Pistol final after all.

You can't keep a good shooter down for so long and out of nowhere Heena Sidhu has rocketed up the leader board to fifth place.

After an impressive start Harjinder Singh has fallen away. Right now, the two Indian shooters are in seventh and eighth and are looking unlikely to walk away with a medal in the Men's 300m Standard Rifle.

Even as Heena Sidhu continues to struggle, Manu Bhaker climbs into the top three after 400 shots.

As things stand there are three events on for India simultaneously in Shooting. While the Men's 300m Standard Rifle is the final where Amit Kumar and Harjinder Singh will be eyeing gold, women’s 10m air pistol and men’s 25m rapid fire pistol are both just the qualification.

And we are underway in the 300m Men's Standard Rifle Final as well.

Heena Sidhu and Manu Bhaker walked away with Gold and Silver in the 10m air pistol at the Commonwealth Games but so far they are looking unlikely to repeat that in the Asian Games 2018.
