10 మీటర్ల ఎయిర్ పిస్టోల్ విభాగంలో భారత్ తరఫున ఒలింపిక్స్కు అర్హత సాధించిన తొలి మహిళ మనునే. పిస్టోల్లో లోపం తలెత్తడం వల్ల మను బాకర్ పాయింట్ల సాధనలో వెనుకబడింది. ఈ కారణంగా ఆమె అసంతృప్తి చెందింది. పోడియం దగ్గరకు కూడా రాలేదు.

పురుషుల 10 మీటర్ల ఎయిర్ పిస్టోల్ విభాగంలో ఇప్పటికే సౌరభ్ చౌదరి, అభిషేక్ వర్మ ఒలింపిక్స్ బెర్త్ ఖరారు చేసుకున్నారు. వీరు ఫిబ్రవరిలో దిల్లీలో జరిగిన ప్రపంచకప్లో సత్తాచాటి ఒలింపిక్స్కు అర్హత సాధించారు.

1. Wide of former Tiananmen protest leader Wang Dan and Chinese dissident Hu Ping walking into presser
2. Medium of Wang and Hu
3. SOUNDBITE (English) Wang Dan, former Tiananmen protest leader:
"It is time for us now, for the whole democratic countries now, to re-recognize the true face of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) and try to learn some lessons from Tiananmen Massacre. This is a very important challenge for the whole world, because now China is a rising power and seems like a threat for the democracy and freedom of the whole world."
4. Various of audience members
5. SOUNDBITE (English) Wang Dan, former Tiananmen protest leader:
"Western countries and Japan government still have hope for CCP, as naive as us. Their belief is cooperation or engagement with China, maybe China will have rapid economic growth, then they will have a middle class, then there's democracy. But after 30 years, we all realize, this is so naive."
6. Wide of German journalist asking a question
7. SOUNDBITE (English) Wang Dan, former Tiananmen protest leader:
"China becomes a threat for freedom world, and in my opinion, I think it is time to relink trade and human rights issues. That might be the only way to deal with this problem. I know a lot of Western countries don't want to ruin their relationship with China, and don't want to see any regime change happen in China, but I have to say, if there's no regime change, nothing can be resolved."
8. Mid of audience
9. SOUNDBITE (English) Wang Dan, former Tiananmen protest leader:
"These are all human rights issues – I mean, the labor rights and the freedom of the internet. If US government can involve these two issues into their trade talks, I think that's the relink. You don't have to pass a bill, you can just use this way to relink trade and human rights."
10. Wide of conference
11. SOUNDBITE (Mandarin) Hu Ping, Chinese dissident:
"When Western countries engage economically with China, they should emphasize human rights. This news will be inspirational for the Chinese people, this will help immensely against the CCP's attempts to instigate nationalism and oppose the free world."
12. End of presser
STORYLINE:
A prominent former student leader of China's pro-democracy protests in Tiananmen Square thirty years ago said Western countries need to press China's ruling Communist Party to improve human rights.
Wang Dan and pro-democracy activist Hu Ping held a press conference Wednesday in Tokyo's Foreign Correspondents Club of Japan ahead of the thirtieth anniversary of the 1989 military assault on demonstrators in Beijing that left hundreds, possibly thousands dead.
China's authoritarian one-party system permits no discussion of the crackdown or memorials for the victims.
Wang and Hu said China's growing power is a threat to freedom and democracy and called on Western countries and Japan to be tougher on Beijing.

They suggested putting human rights on the US trade agenda and asked Western countries to emphasize human rights in their economic dealings with China.
