Indian shooter Jitu Rai clinched a silver medal in the 50 metre pistol event of the ISSF World Cup Final at Bologna, Italy yesterday. Jitu shot a score of 188.8 to finish behind China's Wei Pang at 190.6. Italy's Giuseppe Giordano settled for the bronze. In the process Jitu Rai also equalled the national record score in the event.
Jitu, who was counted as India's best shooting medal hope in Rio but had failed to deliver, had earlier won a Silver medal at the ISSF World Cup in Baku, Azerbaijan in the 10m Air Pistol event.
In a tweet, India's first and only individual Olympic gold-medallist Abhinav Bindra congratulated Jitu Rai on the achievement.
