	Rathore backfires!
		Rathore had shot a 46, 43 and a perfect 50 in the three qualification rounds and went into the final (where six top shooters qualify) with a score of 139, which put him at tied-third with UAE’s Saif Alshamsy.
		After this came to Rathore’s notice late last evening, it was learnt that the ace shooter immediately began requesting the media not to publish any of his remarks against the DAGOC.
		However, as it was already too late (considering the two and a half hour time difference between India and Qatar) and most of the Indian media were already done with their work for the day it seems highly unlikely that anyone would have been in a position to pull back their reports.
