On Monday, August 21, she finished sixth in the women’s 50m rifle 3-positions event. The excellent 21-year-old Indian finished sixth in the final with a score of 429.1.

China’s shooters won gold and silver medals in the women’s 50m rifle 3-positions. Meanwhile, the bronze medalist was an American shooter. Sift had previously scored 192 in the kneeling position, 199 in the prone position, and 198 in the standing position during the qualification round.
