Ace Indian shooter Jitu Rai finished sixth in the men's 10m air pistol event of the ISSF World Cup Final in Bologna, Italy, on Saturday.
Jitu shot a score of 117.2 to finish sixth and be the third to be eliminated in the eight-shooter final.
Damir Mikec of Serbia clinched the gold medal with a total score of 202.9. The silver and bronze went to Wei Pang (199.7) of China and Ismail Keles (178.4) of Turkey respectively.
Two days back, Jitu had won a silver in the 50m pistol event at this very competition.
Jitu, who was touted as India's best shooting medal hope in Rio Olympics but failed to deliver, had earlier won a silver medal at the ISSF World Cup in Baku, Azerbaijan in the 10m air pistol event.
