Discus thrower Kamalpreet Kaur finished a creditable sixth in her first Olympics with a best throw of 63.70m in a rain-interrupted final yesterday.
The 25-year-old Kaur, who qualified for the final as the second best on Saturday, was never in the running for a medal in the final event which was interrupted by rain for more than an hour. She had a third round throw of 63.70m to end at sixth and equal 2010 Commonwealth Games gold medallist Krishna Poonia’s performance in the 2012 London Olympics.
