India's Satyendra Singh finished eighth in the men's 50m Rifle 3 Positions event on the final day of competitions at the ISSF World Cup here. Satyendra gave a good account of himself, shooting a score of 1173 to qualify for the eight-man final, in an event considered to be one of the most gruelling among all the shooting disciplines. This was his first ever World Cup final appearance and by far his best ever qualification score. However, Satyendra was the first to be eliminated in the final on a score of 396.7 after 40 shots. Satyendra's compatriot and Olympian Sanjeev Rajput could only manage a score of 1157 in qualifying to bow out in 45th place.
