In the final, she scored 34 points, to finish behind China’s Rui Liu who won the gold with 38 points. South Korea’s Jiin Yaang, who had 29 points, took home the bronze medal.
Manu Bhaker Pistol Malfunction
This was India’s 11th medal from the shooting range, adding to the country’s tally of 21 medals. On the other hand, Manu Bhaker missed out on a medal in the event.
