With the top-eight shooters qualifying for the final, Sarabjot missed by a whisker after finishing with a score of 577 — tied with Robin Walter. The German, however, finished ahead in eighth thanks to a superior ‘inner 10’ count, collecting 17 of them to Sarabjot’s 16.

— Gagan Narang (@gaGunNarang) July 27, 2024“No one can understand how Sarabjot feels like I do. I faced a similar situation missing out on a count back in 2008 Beijing Olympics,” Narang, a London 2012 bronze medallist in 10m air rifle, wrote on X.
“Chin up @sarabjotsingh30 you have one more event.. You got this.. come back stronger and conquer the world my friend.”
Sarabjot has one more chance to achieve success as he will pair up with Manu Bhaker in the 10m air pistol mixed team event at the Paris Games.
