Another fantastic attempt from Mitharval, a 94-point final attempt sees him finish on top of the pack! Jitu Rai, with a combined score of 542 qualifies on 6th place.

The final round has beckoned upon us! Om Mitharval firmly in the lead.

Despite a small blip, Mitharval has managed to keep himself ahead of the rest of the pack, and now stands a good chance of making it to the finals, as we go into the last round.

Mitharval, however, is determined to not let this go! All of a sudden, he has hauled himself back into the top 3. He has now returned to the top of the table with 502 points!

One positive for Mitharval is that he has had relatively fewer number of attempts than most of the shooters who are ahead of him. Hence, he could be banking on those 3 extra shots to surge ahead.

Both Mithadval and Jitu Rai have slipped up in the 5th round.

The 5th round seems to be rather ominous for both of them!

Oh, what drama here! Mitharval has dropped out of the top 3 here! The currently stands at #4, while Jitu Rai is on #6!

With Round 4 being underway, Om Mitharval currently stands on the second spot, having shot a total of 366 points from 6 attempts. Meanwhile, Jitu is not too far behind on the 5th position, having shot 279 from 4 attempts!

Both Mitharval and Rai are currently well in contention for qualifying to the Finals of he competitions, where they will be able to fight for more medals for the Indian contingent.
