Hee fails to qualify for 10m Air Pistol fils

Rio de Janeiro, Aug 7: Shooter Hee Sidhu missed out of the race to the women's 10 metres Air Pistol fils event at the 31st Rio Olympic Games after finishing 14th in the qualifications at the Olympic Shooting Centre on Sunday.

Hee could only mage 380 with 13 inner 10s after the completion of the four series. A late surge by the Ludhia shooter too was not enough as she totalled 95 cumulative points in the fourth series to move to 14th. Hee never really looked in the hunt as she started the first series with 94 cumulative points before dropping to 29th with 95 points in the second.

The third series witnessed Hee coming back to the 20th spot with some great shots, only to lose momentum towards the end, which fetched her 96 cumulative points.

Starting the fourth series at the 25th spot, Hee failed to put up a consistent show, shooting 9 and 10 in her first two shots before failing to hit another 10.

Her last three shots fetched a 9, 10 and another 10 taking her toll to 95 cumulative points ending her hopes. IANS
