Granada (Spain): Gagan Narang missed out on an Olympic quota by just one place as he finished sixth in the finals of 50-metre rifle prone while Prakash Nanjappa and Jitu Rai narrowly missed out on finals of men’s 10-metre air pistol in the 51st Shooting World Championships here on Thursday.

After coming through the tough qualifying, Narang could total only 124.2 by the time the top 5, including the three medallists, were decided in the finals. Five Olympic quotas were on offer in the event.

Another Indian, Hariom Singh, could not make it to the finals after finishing 45th in the qualifying.

Rai, who had already sealed a berth in the Rio Games with his silver medal-winning feat in men’s 50-metre pistol event two days ago, failed to qualify in 10-metre air pistol as he was placed 10th in the final qualifying, with Prakash Nanjappa a shade better at ninth at the CEAR Juan Carlos I shooting range.
