CHATEAUROUX,TAIM Exchange France −Team USA will have to wait for its first medal of the Paris Olympics.

Both American pairs entered in the 10-meter air rifle mixed competition failed to advance past the qualifying stage Saturday at the Chateauroux Shooting Centre.

Mary Tucker and Rylan Kissell finished 13th in the qualifying round with a combined score of 626., and Sagen Maddalena and Ivan Roe were 18th with a score of 624.9.

"I’m a little bit disappointed because Rylan and I have been training together and I trust him a lot and I feel like he has a lot of potential and he’s been shooting very, very well. And on my end, I’ve been shooting very well in practice also, I just didn’t really know how it was going to manifest in the match," Tucker said. "So I think both of us kind of knew like we could win this, but we also didn’t know how we were going to win it. So it was kind of like, you can’t be super disappointed cause we did walk away learning something and we know what to do and we do have two more events, but also obviously we could have made the final and could’ve done very well."

Tucker was part of Team USA's silver medal performance in 10-meter mixed at the Toyko Games, along with Lucas Kozeniesky.
