Abhinav Bindra finished seventh in the qualifying round to make the cut for the finals, which his compatriot and London Olympics bronze medallist Gagan Narang failed to do. Bindra had shot with a malfunctioning gun. Before the start of the 10m air rifle qualification, Bindra fell down from the chair along with his gun and, as a result, the 'sight' of his rifle broke.
