Paris Olympics: Arjun Babuta Ends Fourth, Misses Out On Medal In Men’s 10m Air Rifle
Air Pistol Mixed Team: Young shooter Arjun Babuta came agonizingly close to securing India’s second medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics as the 25-year-old finished fourth in the Men’s 10m Air Rifle final with a score of 208.4 here on Monday.
The Chandigarh-born shooter was in the hunt for a podium position throughout the final and headed into the last two elimination series tied with Croatia’s Miran Maricic at the score of 167.8 points while Swedish shooter Victor Lindgren was tailing them by just 0.1 points.
In his second last attempt, Babuta shot a modest 10.1 which saw him fall out of the top three and into fourth place. His final shot of 9.5 resulted in him bowing out of the competition after nearly securing a medal for India.
