India's Moraad Ali Khan ended up 12th in men's double trap in the ISSF Shotgun World Cup in Americana, Brazil.

Finishing behind Moraad was teammate Ronjan Sodhi, in 14th position.

Russia's Vasile Mossin picked his first World Cup gold, pipping Walton Steven of Britain 14-13 in tie-shoot. Both Mossin (141 + 47) and Steven (140 + 48) were tied at 188 points after the final. The bronze went to Hakan Dahlby of Sweden, who had 186 points (139 + 47).

Veteran campaigner Moraad came up with scores of 42, 45 and 43 for a total of 130 while Sodhi fell back due to a poor second round score of 38 for a total of 127. In the first and third round he scored 43 and 46 points each.

India's star campaigner, World No. 2 and Olympic silver medallist Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore pulled out the event due to viral fever.
