Ending her olympic journey on a disappointing note, Indian shooter Avani Lekhara exited from women’s 50m rifle 3P SH1 final on Tuesday.

Initially, Avani was tied for first place with Vadovicova and Cuiping after the kneeling stage, each scoring 51.1 points. However, as the competition progressed, she dropped to fifth place by the end of the second series, accumulating 100 points.
In the prone position, Avani’s performance declined further. She started with 50.6 points in the first series, slipping to sixth place by the end of the second series with a total score of 261.5 points.
