The Indian hung onto his second place as England’s Kenneth Parr bowed out after 16 shots with a score of 182 points to take bronze.
Warren showed no signs of letting go as he enjoyed a lead of 1.7 heading into the eighth series of shots. Gagan scored an impressive 10.8 off the 19th shot as the Australian posted a score of 10 on the board.
The difference was just 0.8 points heading into the final shot.. Gagan shot first and scored 10.5 to take his total to 203.6, but the Australian held his nerve to score 10.4 and took the gold.
