BAKU: Rio-bound Jitu Rai settled for the silver in the 10-metre Air Pistol after edging past three-time Olympic champion Jongoh Jin of Korea at the ISSF Shooting World Cup on Saturday.
Rai shot 199.5 in the finals to bag the silver while Brazilian Felipe Almeida Wu won the gold medal with a total of 200.0. This was Rai’s sixth World Cup medal and the second this year after winning one in Bangkok. Earlier, the Commonwealth Games gold medallist failed to reach the final in the men’s 50m air pistol.
