Indian shooters Elavenil Valarivan and Parth Mane finished fourth in the 10m air rifle mixed team final at the Asian Games on Tuesday. The pair scored 376.3 points and were eliminated after the third series, having trailed throughout the final.
China's Wang Zifei and Sheng Lihao won gold with a world record 507.1 points. South Korea took silver (502.9) and Japan bronze (439.7). India had qualified second with 634.6 but could not match the pace. Elavenil and Parth each won silver in earlier team events. India's shooting medal tally stands at five silvers and one bronze.
Indian Opinion Analysis
All four reports use wire copy and factual event coverage, with no discernible editorial slant. The Times Now and both HT versions lead with the miss, NDTV leads with the finish. Every source notes that China set a world record, and none frames India's fourth place as a failure. The scoring details and the medal haul context are identical across sources. The coverage reads as uniform neutral reporting from the same agency feed. What stands out is that India has now won five shooting medals at these Games, all silver or bronze, and still no gold in the 10m air rifle. The Indian pair will next compete in individual events.
