Kynan could not make the finals despite shooting 123, 122 and 120 in earlier World Cups at Acapulco, Al Ain and Changwon respectively earlier this season.

Prithviraj Tondaiman shot 22, 25, 22, 20 and 24 for the 31st spot. Former World champion Manavjit Sandhu had the stock of his gun broken during the first round of competition, and could not continue any further.

The Indian shooters have to bank on the Asian Championship in Doha in November, for the last set of Olympic berths.
