18:23 (IST)12 AUG 2016
Narang's next event - the 50m Rifle 3 qualification - will take place on 14th August at 5.30 pm. Hope he has better luck in that!
18:23 (IST)12 AUG 2016
Remember, Narang still has a chance to win a medal this Olympics - in the 50m Rifle 3 event. For Chain Singh, however, this is the end of his Rio journey.
18:21 (IST)12 AUG 2016
And there's the confirmation! Both Gagan Narang and Chain Singh have failed to qualify for the 50m rifle prone finals, with Narang finishing at No. 13 and Chain at No. 36. Disappointing!
18:20 (IST)12 AUG 2016
Gagan Narang is on 13th position while Chain Singh is on 36th.
18:19 (IST)12 AUG 2016
Sergey Kamenskiy is holding the fort at the No. 1 position, with a score of 629. His Russian compatriot Kirill Grigoryan is at No. 2, with 628.9, while Jonghyun Kim of South Korea rounds out the top 3 with 628.1.
18:18 (IST)12 AUG 2016
Why does this keep happening to Indian shooters ???? They promise so much in the first few rounds and then bottle up. This is heartbreaking.
18:18 (IST)12 AUG 2016
This was a rather steep collapse by Narang, after being perched so comfortably at the half-way stage. Where did it go wrong for him? Scores of 103, 104 and 102.4 in the last 3 series are not up to the mark in such a high-profile competition.
18:17 (IST)12 AUG 2016
He has finished with a score of 623.1 - 104.7, 104.4, 104.6, 103.0, 104.0 and 102.4
18:16 (IST)12 AUG 2016
Really poor from Gagan Narang in the last two rounds and he has been knocked out.
18:16 (IST)12 AUG 2016
Narang scored 102.4 in his last series, which is WAY below his average. That was a rather poor finish by the Indian veteran, and it seems his nerves may have cost him a place in the finals.
18:15 (IST)12 AUG 2016
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Gagan Narang has been knocked out ladies and gentlemen.
18:15 (IST)12 AUG 2016
This looks like a lost cause now. Narang is down to No. 14, and seems to be on his way out.
18:14 (IST)12 AUG 2016
10.3 in the next shot and he is in 9th position. THIS IS NERVE WRECKING
18:14 (IST)12 AUG 2016
Two shots remaining, can Gagan do it?
18:14 (IST)12 AUG 2016
This is nail-biting stuff, and Narang has just 2 shots more to regain his place in the top 8. Can he do it?
18:13 (IST)12 AUG 2016
His total score is 82.2 from the final round and Gagan is in 9th position. HOLD ON TO YOUR HORSES FRIENDS
18:13 (IST)12 AUG 2016
Narang isn't being able to summon his best in this last series, and he's still on the very edge of the qualification zone. He REALLY needs to find a new gear in these last 4 shots.
18:13 (IST)12 AUG 2016
He moves up to 9th position now. Other shooters need to faulter. Indians must be saying PLEASE PLEASE
18:12 (IST)12 AUG 2016
Gagan Narang is in 10th position now
18:12 (IST)12 AUG 2016
Narang shot a 9.5 in his fifth attempt of this last series, which is well below par. Is the pressure affecting him?
18:12 (IST)12 AUG 2016
NOOOOOOOO!!! He slips down to 9th after his next shot with a 10.2. He has 5 shots to go. A couple of 10.8s are required.
18:11 (IST)12 AUG 2016
And Narang slips down to No. 10 again! This is bad news for Indian fans.
18:11 (IST)12 AUG 2016
He has not taken his shots as he knows there is time. GAGAN NARANG is close to qualifying for the final here.
18:11 (IST)12 AUG 2016
Narang started this qualification very brightly, but has tailed off a little in the last 2 series. He'll need to regain his composure from the start if he wants to ensure his safe passage to the finals.
18:10 (IST)12 AUG 2016
A lot of shooters below him have finished their quota of shots and he just needs to be better than them to qualify.
18:09 (IST)12 AUG 2016
The hopes of a billion and more people lie on the shoulders of this man lying down on his belly. COME ON GAGAN
18:09 (IST)12 AUG 2016
Narang hasn't shot in a while, but he has climbed up to No. 7. Just 6 good shots more, and he'll be through to the finals!
18:09 (IST)12 AUG 2016
Poor from other shooters pushes him up to 7th position. Gagan is getting close.
18:08 (IST)12 AUG 2016
Six shots to go in the last round and he is 8th position. Can he qualify??????
18:08 (IST)12 AUG 2016
Kirill Grigoryan has snatched the No. 1 ranking from Sergey Kamenskiy, but judging from the patterns so far, he is not likely to stay there for long.
18:07 (IST)12 AUG 2016
Can Gagan finish big to keep India's first medal hopes alive in shooting? IT IS GETTING CLOSE LADIES AND GENTLEMEN
18:07 (IST)12 AUG 2016
41.7 for Narang after 4 shots in the last series, and he's holding on to his No. 8 position at the moment.
18:07 (IST)12 AUG 2016
He has shot really well in the final round and is 41.7 from 4 shots and is in 8th position.
18:06 (IST)12 AUG 2016
BOOMMMMM 10.5 in the next from Gagan and he moves into 8th position.
18:06 (IST)12 AUG 2016
And Narang is back into the top 8! Can he remain there, with just 8 shots remaining?
18:06 (IST)12 AUG 2016
He is in the 9th position. He needs more of those to qualify.
18:05 (IST)12 AUG 2016
BOOMMMMMMM... He starts the sixth with a 10.8
18:05 (IST)12 AUG 2016
Meanwhile, Sergey Kamenskiy continues to reign atop the leaderboard, with a fabulous score of 577 so far.
18:05 (IST)12 AUG 2016
Narang finishes the fifth series with a score of 104, which is not good enough at this stage.
18:05 (IST)12 AUG 2016
POOORRRRR finish from Gagan Narang in the fifth as 104 is not enough to take him into a finals spot.
18:04 (IST)12 AUG 2016
Disaster for Narang, as he slips to No. 10! He needs to get his groove back immediately if he harbours any hopes of qualifying for the finals. Time is running out!
18:04 (IST)12 AUG 2016
One shot to go in the fifth round and Gagan needs a big finish.
18:04 (IST)12 AUG 2016
He has scored a total of 510.1 and has slipped down to 10th position. NOOOOOOOOOOOO
18:03 (IST)12 AUG 2016
Takes his score to 62.7 in the fifth and Gagan Narang is holding on to his finals spot.
18:03 (IST)12 AUG 2016
41.5 in four shots for Narang in this fifth series so far, which is a fairly decent score. But to make sure of his top 8 place, he needs to step up a little!
18:02 (IST)12 AUG 2016
Total score from fifth round is 41.5 and Gagan is holding on to that 8th spot. Getting into the business end of things here.
Final medalists:
1. Herni Junghaenel (Germany) - Gold
2. Kim Jonghyun (South Korea) - Silver
3. Kiril Grigoriyan (Russia) - Bronze
