Anant Jeet Singh Naruka: Indian pair of Maheshwari Chauhan and Anant Jeet Singh Naruka lost the bronze medal in the Skeet Mixed Team event after losing to China's Yiting Jiang and Jianlin Lyu 43-44 in the Paris Olympics here on Monday.

Anant, the Asian Games silver medallist in individual skeet, and Maheshwari shot perfectly to accumulate 43 in the match but missed some key birds and lost the medal by a whisker as the agony of a fourth-place finish continues to haunt India.

Earlier, the Indian shooters progressed to the bronze medal playoff after finishing fourth in the qualification. The duo shot 146/150 in the 15-team qualification round, where Maheshwari starred with 50/50 in her final two rounds.
