Sports News : The eighth day of the Paris Olympics was not very special for India. Manu Bhaker missed a small margin on a hat-trick of medals, while Deepika Kumari and Bhajan Kaur were disappointed. There were not many competitors from India on Saturday. The eyes of the fans were on Manu and the women archers, but luck did not favour them.
India's star shooter, Manu Bhaker, missed out on creating history. She is the first Indian athlete to win two medals in an Olympics. She finished fourth in the women's 25m pistol event. A total of 10 series of shots were to be fired in this event. There were a total of five shots in one series. The elimination round began after three series. Manu finished fourth with a score of 28 after eight series. That is, out of 40, 28 of Manu's shots were green. The rest did not hit the target. In the eighth series, there was a fight between her and Hungary's Veronica Major, who was in fourth place. Manu missed three shots in this series, while Veronica missed two shots and three shots hit the target. 

Indian shooter Maheshwari Chauhan remains in the race to make it to the finals with an eighth place on the first day of qualification for the women's skeet event. Maheshwari is at the eighth position after the first day's qualification round by scoring a total of 71 points with 23, 24 and 24 points in three series of 25 shots each and remains in the race to make it to the finals of the top six shooters. Another Indian participating in this event, Reza Dhillon, is at the 25th position among 29 shooters by scoring 66 points with 21, 22 and 23 points. 

Indian shooter Anantjit Singh Naruka also gave a disappointing performance on the second day of qualification and failed to make it to the finals of the men's skeet event of the Paris Olympic Games. Anantjit finished 24th among 30 shooters by scoring a total of 116 points with 23, 22, 23, 24, 24 points in five series of 25 shots each. The top six shooters made it to the finals.

Deepika faced
defeat despite taking lead in the last eight match. Deepika won the first set 28-26, while Korea's Soo Yeon defeated Deepika 28-25 in the second set. After this Deepika won the third set by a margin of 29-28, while Soo Yeon again made a comeback in the fourth set and won the set 29-27 and equalized the score to 4-4. Deepika fell behind in the decisive set and Soo Yeon won this set 29-27 and defeated Deepika by a margin of 6-4. In this way Deepika's journey ended in the quarter finals itself.

Bhajan lost to Indonesia's Charu Nisha Daya Nanda in the shoot off. After the score remained equal at 5-5 after five sets, the match reached the shoot off. Bull's eye means the shooter whose arrow is farther from the center will lose. Charu Nisha shot an arrow at nine while Bhajan's arrow hit eight and she was eliminated.
