The ISSF Shooting World Cup in Lima, Peru, witnessed some high-intense drama surrounding Indian shooter Rudrankksh Patil. The former 10m air rifle world champion was forced to withdraw from the final in Lima after his 11th shot was deleted.
Rudrankksh Patil, who hails from Thane, finished in 8th place in the men’s 10m air rifle event in which fellow Indian shooter Arjun Babuta came second. Babuta lost the gold medal by a margin of 0.1.
Patil hit a 10.4 on his 11th shot and climbed to the fourth spot. However, it was not counted as the jury ruled out that Patil had taken the shot before the chief range officer gave the go-ahead. As a result, Patil dropped to the last spot in the eight-man final after his 11th shot score was deleted.
