Four out of five. A much better showing from Sidhu. He improves his chances of making it to the elimination round.

Sidhu manages one better in the second round of shots. He gets 3/5 in Series 2. That wont be enough to get him out of the last place.

The Inians sits in the last spot after the opening round. Kazakhstan’s Nikita Chiryukin with a perfect five to get the early lead.

The Pakistani shooter starts with 4/5 in the opening series.
