Rio 2016: India's Abhinav Bindra settles for fourth position after narrowly missing the 10m air rifle medal by 0.5

In his last appearance on the Olympic stage, which was his third final in five attempts, Abhinav Bindra came within 0.1 of winning a second medal at Rio Olympics 2016. However it wasn't enough.

In the end, he bowed out of the competition at fourth place in the final of the men's 10m air rifle with cumulative score of 163.8 at the Olympic Shooting Centre on Monday.

In the first series of three shots, Bindra shot 29.9. In the second, he dropped down to seventh place with a score of 60.1. In the third, super shots worth 10.7 and 10.8 moved him to third and into bronze medal position. That became second as Bindra nailed another 10.7, moving to within 0.5 behind the leader.

As the tension ratcheted up, Bindra began the sixth series with a 9.7 shot. His second was 10.5. It call came down to his last shot, which was a 10 - but not enough to win him bronze.
