Navy man Saif Tamboli and Satyajit Mondal, an upcoming gymnast from Bengal, narrowly missed out to make the final round, finishing ninth each in the parallel bar and vault
Yogeshwar Singh was the lone Indian male gymnast to qualify for the all-around final after his teammates Saif Tamboli and Satyajit Mondal narrowly missed out in the Commonwealth Games here.
The 25-year-old Haryana gymnast, who has participated in three World Championships, overcame some stiff competition to finish at the 16th place with an overall score of 73.600.
In vault and floor events, Mr. Singh had a fall each as the score of his pummell scissor hand stand was not counted which would have improved his position.
"But it's past now. We now have to focus on the final (August 2)," Indian coach Ashok Mishra told PTI on Friday.
He held his nerves and had a score of 73.660 points en route to the 18-member final which will take place on August 2.
