Do points carry over in Vijay's event as well - might be an advantage for him.

NO will not.

Last few tweets answer all your questions? #olympics I think even rajyavardhan singh rathore said the same thing yestrerday although i couldn't find his tweet today

why is Rathore not in Olympics??

[Crookbond]

Here's the format rules for more information!

The qualification score does not count in the final. FINAL - Consists of 8 series - Each finalist fires 4 Series of 5 shots - From the 4th series on, after each series the shooter with the lowest score leaves the match, right to the 8th series, when the last two shooters duel for Gold. - In case of ties, direct-elimination shoot-offs will be conducted - Each series (5 shots) must be fired in rapid sequence within a maximum of 4 seconds. - Each shot is evaluated as a “hit” or a “miss”.

why is Rathore not in Olympics??

Å¢ll names were discussed but we had to go by the selection criteria. Rathore finished second behind Ronjan Singh Sodhi. But we thought there were better chances of winning a medal in the womenÃÔ air pistol and that was the reason why we swapped a rifle quota for Heena Sidhu. She is a talented girl and we picked her based on the current form.Ǽ/QUOTE] http://blogs.bettor.com/Indian-Olympic-medallist-RS-Rathore-not-part-of-London-2012-Olympic-shooting-team-a130779

Sania and Paes are also playing today, right? They have an outside chance.

Sania and Paes are also playing today' date=' right? They have an outside chance.[/quote'] True.. Their quarterfinal match is against the number 1 seeds though.

[kabira]

what happened to Heena Sidhu?

[bihutoli]

She couldn't qualify for the finals. Finished 12th I think. With her I think it was more hope than anything, because her personal best was below the qualifications mark (for finals) for the Beizing games itself.

[Sachin=GOD]
