Men's 25m Pistol Rapid Fire Qualifications Stage 2

Here are the final scores in a shockingly disappointing end to the Men's 25m Pistol Rapid Fire Qualification:

Vijayveer Sidhu:
Score: 583- 26x
Rank: 9th

Anish Banwala:
Score: 582- 22x
Rank 13th

Men's 25m Pistol Rapid Fire Qualifications Stage 2

We're at a complete loss for words here. How has India not gotten at least one shooter in the Final?!

2 8s and a 9 in his final five shots lead to Vijayveer Sidhu dropping out of the Top 6, and as a result, the Final!

Men's 25m Pistol Rapid Fire Qualifications Stage 2

Oh no! This can't possibly be true! Both Indian shooters do not qualify for the Final.

A poor, poor final set of shots from both Vijayveer Sidhu and Anish Banwala sees them well out of the top 6, with the former finishing 9th, and the latter taking 13th place!

Vijayveer Sidhu shoots a 92 in Series 3, with Anish shooting a 93, and with the rest of the pack shooting scores in the range of 97 and 98, they were bound to miss out, and after a nearly impeccable stint in qualifying, one mistake in the final Series costs them dearly!

Men's 25m Pistol Rapid Fire Qualifications Stage 2

Ohh, unlucky for Anish! At the end of Series 2, Vijayveer Sidhu's score moves to 198, while Anish Banwala's score moves to 196, and as a result, he is one point outside the qualifying zone.

As it stands, Vijayveer Sidhu is in 2nd place, while Anish Banwala is in 8th! Can both Indian shooters qualify for the Final after the final Series?

Men's 25m Pistol Rapid Fire Qualifications Stage 2

Terrific start from both Indian shooters. In Series 1, Vijayveer Sidhu shoots a perfect 100 while Anish Banwala scores 99. Vijayveer Sidhu is now up to 2nd place, with Anish Banwala in 6th place now.

As it stands, both Indian shooters are in qualifying positions for the Final!

Men's 25m Pistol Rapid Fire Qualifications Stage 2

We're not far away from the start of Relay 4, where both Indians Vijayveer Sidhu and Anish Banwala will be in action. Can they qualify for the Finals?

Men's 25m Pistol Rapid Fire Qualifications Stage 2

Official updates are in, and at the end of Relay 3, India is placed in a great position to have both shooters qualify for the Final of the Men's 25 M Rapid Fire Final:

Vijayveer Sidhu is in 6th place ahead of Anish Banwala in 8th, and with the top 6 athletes making it to the Finals, the Indian shooters need to match their efforts from Stage 1 or better them to maximize their chances of doing the same.

Men's 25m Pistol Rapid Fire Qualifications Stage 2

Series 1 of Relay 3 is completed, and both Vijayveer Sidhu and Anish drop to 9th and 11th in the rankings respectively. At the end of this Relay, they will know exactly how much they need to score in order to make it to the Finals.

Men's 25m Pistol Rapid Fire Qualifications Stage 2

We're done with the 2nd Relay of Stage 2 of qualifications, and Vijayveer Sidhu and Anish Banwala retain their positions at 5th and 7th respectively.
We could see some change in their positions at the end of Relay 3 before they set out to seal their qualification in Relay 4.

Still some time until we get to that though, so don't go anywhere as we bring you all the updates from this event.

Women's Skeet Qualification Day 2

Right then, a disappointing exit for Maheshwari Chauhan, while Raiza Dhillon will take a lot of experience from this event. Here are their final scores and standings:

Maheshwari Chauhan:
Score: 118
Rank: 14th

Score: 113
Rank: 23rd

In case you weren't aware, the standings for this Men's 25 M Rapid Fire Qualifications are based on Average points scored by a shooter, and as of now, Anish and Vijayveer Sidhu are both tied on 9.767/shot, with the latter placed higher because of a higher number of Xs.

We're still waiting on the results of Relay 2 of Stage 2 of this event. Both Indian shooters will be a part of Relay 4.

Men's 25m Pistol Rapid Fire Qualifications Stage 2

The first relay of shots is done and dusted, and it has resulted in no change in the positions of either Vijayveer Sidhu or Anish Banwala. The shooters remain in 5th and 7th place respectively.

Men's 25m Pistol Rapid Fire Qualifications Stage 2

The two Indian shooters will be desperate to put in another solid shift in Stage 2 and seal their place in the Final, to try and secure more medals in shooting for India. Stage 2 is set to start at 04:30 PM IST, where both Vijayveer Sidhu and Anish Banwala will be a part of Relay 4.
