OLYMPICS LIVE: Gowda in final, but shooters disappoint
August 06, 2012
Vikas Gowda qualified for the men's discus throw final round without much fuss, but Indian shooters, including 10m air rifle bronze winner Gagan Narang, were eliminated in the preliminaries at the Olympic Games on Monday.
Gowda, who started with a modest effort of 63.52m before breaching the automatic qualifying mark, joined a selectlist of seven Indian athletes to have made it to the finals in track and field events at the world's greatest sports extravaganza.
