Not a lot was expected from Abhinav Bindra when he went to Rio to compete in his final Olympics. He had already announced that this would be his final competition and so there were some who hoped that he would finish on a high.
Competing on the third day in the Men’s 10m Air Rifle event, the 33-year-old put forth an impressive performance in qualification to finish in 7th place with a score of 625.7. In the final, the Indian once again rose to the occasion with a series of fine shots at the start. But with a few errors later on, he dropped down in the standings and eventually had to fight it out in a shoot off.
The Indian legend fired a 10.0 as compared to 10.5 by his opponent to take 4th place, and ended his career in agonising fashion.
