In the men section India number two Arjun Babuta shot a high quality 631.8 to finish third in the 39-strong field. World number one Divyansh Singh Panwar followed him to the eight-man final slated for Saturday, with a 629.1 which gave him sixth position overall.

Nam Taeyun of Korea led the field with a 632.1 and given his current world rank of 18 and the fact that all other finalists are not eligible except his own teammate Choo Byounggil who is ranked way below him, should bag the only available Tokyo Olympics quota based on world rankings.

Deepak Kumar, the third Indian in the field finished 12thwith a score of 626.4.

In the Women’s 10M Air Rifle, world number four and Tokyo quota holder Anjum Moudgil was the lone Indian to qualify. She shot 629.6 to come in second in the 48-strong field, behind Hungary’s Denes Eszter who shot 629.8.

World number one Elavenil Valarivan finished 12thwith a score of 626.7. So did her teammate Apurvi Chandela who finished 26thwith 622.8.

The world-ranking quota in the Women’s event is up for a fight though, with Dane Ibsen Rikke Maeng (world rank 11) and American Mary Tucker (world rank 20) making it to the finals among others.
