BHOPAL: Calculators and tears were out on the most volatile day of the Olympic Shooting Trials on Saturday. Ramita Jindal, who looked virtually out of contention for the top-2 finish in the women's 10m air rifle event, shot 636.4 on the first of two days in the fourth and last trial to change the equation. With the score that is only two-tenth short of the current world record, Ramita has pushed quota holder Tilottama Sen out of the top-2.
Another shooter, Elavenil Valarivan, came up the ranks to finish on top at the MP State Shooting Ranges. And these rankings (based on weighted scores and NRAI formula), barring No. 1 & No. 2, won't change regardless of the score and placing of shooters after the final on Sunday. Only two shooters in this section can be fielded at the Paris Olympics.
