New Delhi: Indian shooter Heena Sidhu bagged a bronze medal in a topsy-turvy women’s 10m air rifle final of the Asian Games in Palembang on Friday.
Heena shot a near-perfect 10.8 with just three shooters left in the field but a 9.6 in the next attempt dashed her hopes of a better finish at the Jakabaring Shooting Range.
Having made an incredible comeback after languishing at the13th and 17th places in the qualification stage, Heena did not look content with the eventual third-place finish as she managed to reduce the gap to a mere 0.1 between her and the gold medal. Heena shot 219.3 in the final.
There was disappointment in store for 16-year-old Manu Bhaker as the Commonwealth Games gold-medalist was eliminated in the fifth place with a score of 176.2.
For two straight events at the ongoing Games, Bhaker shot brilliantly in the qualification but cracked in the final.
