Indian swimmers Srihari Nataraj and Maana Patel’s Olympic campaign came to an end as the two youngsters failed to qualify for the semifinals of their respective events.
Competing in their maiden Olympics, both swimmers put up underwhelming performances and were unable to match their personal best times in the 100m backstroke events.
Srihari managed a time of 54.31s to finish his men’s 100m backstroke heat in sixth place and overall 27th among the 40 swimmers. While Maana, swimming in the slowest heat, finished second with a time of 1.05.20s. She was 39th overall.
