Led by the sensational Saurabh Chaudhary, India’s Olympic-bound shooters produced a stellar show in the mixed air pistol and air rifle events of the European Championship Osijek, Croatia on Wednesday.
India’s Tokyo 2020 Olympics-bound 10m Pistol and rifle mixed team pairs were on the mark participating in the Minimum Qualifying Section section as guest invitees, Elavenil Valarivan and Divyansh Singh Panwar began the day by shooting a combined score of 630.6 in the first qualifying round.
They finished second overall among 51 pairs, five of which were shooting in the MQS section.
If they were part of the main event, the pair would have sailed through to the next stage where only the top eight make it.
