Jitu Rai missed final by a point as he finished on 9th position with 578 pts ... So with this our five shooters are qualify for Rio in that two each in Men's rifle and Men's Pistol and one in Women's Rifle.

Before that our another young shooter Susan Elezabeth Koshy missed winning quota in 50m Rifle 3 Positions Women ...
