Pakistan's Kashmala Talat creates national record

 Kashmala finished the qualifying round with 583+19x, falling just short of being in the top 8, merely by one point.

If Kashmala, who scored 290 on day one, had achieved one more point then it would’ve been smooth sailing for her to top 8. The Indian shooter was in 69th place after day one with 284 points but she collected 299 on day two to make a jump.

A rank among the top 6 in the final round would’ve seen Kashmala Talat a place in Paris Olympics. The Pakistani shooter will now have to wait for qualifiers in October to attempt to secure her place in the next Olympics.

However, her score of 583/600 was a new national record in this category. She previously scored 582/600 during this year’s national games to create the record.
