Chain Singh won a bronze medal in 50m Rifle 3 Positions Men’s Finals, even as India narrowly missed out on a third-place finish in men’s team event of the Asian Games in Incheon on Saturday.

Singh shot a total of 441.7 points to finish behind two Chinese shooters — Cao Yifei and Zhu Qinan — who bagged the first and second positions with 455.5 and 455.2 points to their credit, respectively.

While Singh had entered the finals after finishing seventh in the qualification round, his more fancied compatriots, Gagan Narang and Sanjeev Rajput had failed to make the final cut, ending on 12th and 15th spots, respectively in the qualifiers.

Only top eight shooters in the qualification round advanced to the final round.
