Indian gymnast Dipa Karmakar remained in the hunt for a place in the Olympic vault finals after finishing sixth in the qualifiers in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday.
The Tripura-girl, who is the country's first woman gymnast to qualify for the Olympics, managed to perform her much-appreciated 'Produnova' vaultcleanly to secure 14.850 points after two attempts.
Dipa secured 7.000 on difficulty and 8.1 on execution in her first attempt. Her score for difficulty was a tad lower at 6.000 in the second attempt.
She landed low on her Produnova vault in the first attempt, while her second vault was a Tsuk double full twist with step to the side.
The Indian was sixth in the vault standings with two more sub-divisions to go. The top-eight, who would make the finals, would be known after all the five sub-divisions are completed.
In the other routines,
Dipa secured 11.666 for her effort on the uneven bars, scoring low on difficulty but decent on execution. Later, Dipa scored 12.866 for her performance on the balance beam.
The floor exercise fetched Dipa a score of 12.033, which also included a 0.300 penalty.
