Rahi Sarnobat, drafted into the 10M Air team, Manu and Yashaswini Deswal had come through two rounds of qualification earlier to make it to medal contention.\u00a0<\/p>\n

They had topped round one on Thursday and then in round two, featuring the top eight teams of round one, missed the gold medal match by two points.<\/p>\n

Germany, who eventually settled for silver to Bulgaria’s gold, shot a combined 575 out of 600 to outdo India who finished with 573. Bulgaria topped the round with 576.<\/p>\n

In the bronze medal match against the Hungarian trio of Veronika Major, Sara Fabian and Miriam Jako, the Indians ran away to a 14-6 lead, winning seven of the first 10 series of three single shots per member per team.<\/p>\n

The team with the highest three-shot aggregate is awarded two points, whereas in case of a tie, the points are split equally. The first to 16-points wins the match.<\/p>\n

The Hungarians did come back strongly to make it 14-12, but the Indian women held their nerve admirably to get over the line.<\/p>\n

Indians were involved in another tight medal encounter in the Men’s 10M Air Rifle Team bronze medal match, but this time they could not finish among the medals.<\/p>\n
