With his 19th attempt, Adana plummeted out of contention, but he was able to return in the competition with his 20th shot when China’s Xiaolong Lou scored 8.6. China, on the other hand, won the finals with defending champion Chao Yang (237.9) and Huang Xing (237.5) taking gold and silver medals, respectively. Singhraj had moved up to third after his 9.1 dropped him to fourth before his series went low.
Manish Narwal of India ended at seventh place in the final. He topped the preliminary round with 575 points, yet he could not capitalize on it in the championship. For Singhraj, the qualification round was a success since he posted 95 and 97 in each of the first two series. He fell behind in third with a 93 but quickly bounced back with a 95. In the second to last sequence, Singraj achieved an incredible 97 by just being able to squeeze into the final.
