Olympics
28th place! Ungerank misses air rifle final
After the mixed team competition, the Tyrolean Nadine Ungerank also missed the final qualification for the individual competition in the 10 meter air rifle on Sunday. At the Olympic shooting range in Châteauroux, the 28-year-old finished 28th out of 43 female shooters with 626.1 rings. The top eight made it through to the final, which will be held on Monday. South Korea's Ban Hyo-jin won the qualifying round with 634.5 rings.
The Austrian Olympic debutant had a bad start: two of her first four shots were nines. After recovering, she was ranked in the upper midfield for the longest time of the 60-shot competition, but showed nerves again in the last series and fell back. "The end wasn't so good, I could have improved a bit more, but I'm very happy with the overall result," said Ungerank afterwards. "There were so many good shots, good series. All in all, it was okay."
Martin Strempfl and Alexander Schmirl are still in action on Sunday (today) in the men's 10 meter air rifle competition. Ungerank has one more Olympic appearance: she will be back in the shooting range on Thursday in the qualification of the 50 meter small bore three-position competition. "There's still a bit of time to train - and then we'll see."
