RIO DE JANERIO, Aug 10:
Indian shooter Jitu Rai belied the sense of expectations nursed by many and crashed out of the Rio Olympics after failing to make the final of men’s 50-metre pistol, his pet event, here today.
Along with Rai, Prakash Nanjappa, the other Indian participant in the event, too fell by the wayside in the qualification round as he finished 25th with 547.
The 28-year-old finished 12th in the six-series qualifying after being placed fourth at the end of the fifth and penultimate series at the Olympic Shooting Centre. Rai aggregated 554. (PTI)
