Rhythm showed promise with a strong start, scoring 97 points in the first series of shots. However, a dip in performance during the second series, where she scored 92 points, caused her to slide down the rankings.

The top position in the qualification round was claimed by Hungary's Veronika Major, closely followed by Oh Ye Jin of South Korea. The highly anticipated final round is scheduled to commence at 3:30 PM IST on Sunday, July 28th.
