This Bronze marked a come back for Samaresh Jung and Prakash Nanjappa who were battling lack of rest and personal injury. For Jitu Rai, this was his second medal and another reminder of his exemplary consistency.
Jitu Rai seems to be a Sports person with good habits. For now, he has gotten into the habit of winning Gold Medals for India.
After Jitu Rai's remarkably consistent performance on the second day of the ongoing ISSF World shooting Championships, the Indian contingent could not add to the medal list at Granada, Spain. Jitu Rai had bagged a quota place for himself for the 2016 Rio Olympics after finishing with the silver medal in the men's 50-metre pistol event.
India's star shooter and the 2008 Olympic gold winner Abhinav Bindra failed to make the cut for the final of Men's 10m air rifle event in the 51st ISSF World Championships. As Abhinav has failed to qualify, he will have to wait for other qualifying tournaments to book his entry to the 2016 Olympic Games.
