PALEMBANG - Singapore's shooters Teh Xiu Hong and Shirlene Hew fell short in the qualifiers of the Asian Games women's 10m air pistol event on Friday (Aug 24) at the Jakabaring International Shooting Range.

The 24-year-old Teh came close: she fired a 570, level with the eighth and last qualifier, Vietnam's Bui Thuy Thu Thuy, but the Singaporean lost out on a spot in the final, by virtue of hitting fewer "inner 10s" of the target.

Shirlene Hew shot a 557 to end the qualification shoot 25th in a field of 43.

This ends the pair's Asian Games campaign.
