Saurabh Chaudhary finishes 7th in 10m air pistol

TOKYO: There was heartbreak for Indian 10m air pistol shooter Saurabh Chaudhary, who despite emerging on top in the qualification round earlier on Saturday, finished seventh as the country suffered its biggest setback in the shooting arena. The 19-year-old, who had given enough indication that he was in great form to finish on the podium when he shot 586 to go into the finals as the leader, was the second shooter to be eliminated from among the eight finalists, finishing seventh. Chaudhary got things rolling with a 10.1 in the finals, but he finished at the bottom of the pile after the first five shots with a score of 47.7. After 10 shots, he had moved to seventh and was only 0.3 points behind sixth-placed Christian Reitz of Germany. IANS
