Its really a sad day after one of the brightest day of Indian history.India’s next hope for the medal, Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore fails to qualify for the final round of shooting range.For the final round their are 19 contenders in which only six of them can qualify for the finals,in this Rajyavardhan secured 15th rank overall and disqualified from the final.To increase the moral confidence of Rajyavardhan,indian olympics star Abhinav Bindra was present but his presence was of no help as Rathore struggled to read targets and shot 131, which was just not enough to reach the business end of the event to stay in medal contention.
Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore
After disqualifying from final Rathore said “I did not read the targets too well and paid the price. I worked hard for the last four years but things just did not go my way.I have not been in the best of form of late but I think my score was enough to reach the final at least. It was a difficult day but I shot well, in fact there were quite a few brilliant shots“.From the starting of the round it is seen that Rathore facing some difficulty in in reading the target.Rathore feels very rued for his not qualifying for the finals and said I was in no way affected by an pressure. To be honest, pressure rather helped me stay focused. Last two months I did not score very high but I think I should have at least made it to the finals.
Now after this billion indian hope dies.Now we all pray to god for the best performance, for the rest of indians players in Olympics 2008, so that Indians once again feel proud.
