Rifle shooters Gagan Narang and Chain Singh have failed to progress to the finals of the men’s rifle 3-position event to crash out of the competition and end India’s campaign in shooting at the Rio Games.
Narang, a bronze medalist in the London Games four years ago in men’s 10m air rifle, ended up even behind Chain Singh, who was 23rd, in the 33rd spot out of 44 shooters with a three-phase tally of 1162 while Chain accumulated 1169.
Narang never looked in contention throughout and fired 383, 395 and 384 in the three stages of the competition.
The experienced shooter from Hyderabad, who runs an academy now, thus ended his Olympic campaign by failing to get past even the qualifies in three events - the 10m air rifle, rifle prone and in 3-position.
