New Delhi, Feb 1: Indian shooter Sania Sheikh missed out on an Olympic quota after finishing fourth in women's skeet at the Asian qualifiers being held at the Karni Singh Shooting Range here on Monday.
Sania was the best Indian performer on the sixth day of the competition. It was another day of near misses for India where two other shooters -- Omkar Singh in the men's 10m Air Pistol and Arti Singh Rao in women's skeet -- made it to their respective finals but failed to win a quota or a medal.
The two available quotas in the event went to the gold medallist from Malaysia Guanjie Wong and silver medallist from Saudi Arabia Atallah Alanazi. Kim Jong Su of North Korea took the bronze.
There are seven quota places still up for grabs on the concluding day of the competition on Tuesday which will see the finals of the men's Skeet and men's 50m Rifle 3 Positions event. Sanjeev Rajput in Rifle and Man Singh in Skeet will spearhead the Indian challenge for Olympic quota places.
