Jul 27, 15:25-Inconsistency Haunts Indian Shooters
Both Arjun Singh Cheema and Sarabjot Singh displayed a worrying trend of inconsistency during the Men’s 10m Air Pistol qualification round. After promising starts, with Cheema posting two solid 97s and Sarabjot firing a perfect 100, their scores took a dramatic dip. Cheema followed up with a 94 and a 93, while Sarabjot’s form also faltered with a subsequent 93.
Whether this downturn was due to a loss of focus, equipment malfunction, or other factors remains to be seen. However, it’s clear that the inability to maintain consistency proved costly for both Indian shooters, ultimately denying them a place in the final.

Jul 27, 14:32-10m Air Pistol Men’s qualification-Sarabjot Singh and Arjun Cheema -India at Paris Olympics 2024 Live Updates
A really poor 94 from Sarabjot Singh to start with a solitary inner 10 being hit in that series of 10 shots. Arjun Cheema too is somewhere in the middle of the pack with a 96. They’ll need to really pull up their socks to be a part of the final eight shooters. One thing is for sure. There will not be a Saurabh Chaudhary-esque 586 happening today from the Indian men’s pistol shooters.
