India's medal hopes suffered a huge setback as Samresh Jung failed to make it to the final round in the men's 10m air pistol event on Saturday.

His exit follows the poor showing of Anjali Bhagwat and Avneet Kaur Sidhu in the 10m air rifle event earlier in the day.

While Anjali finished 29th in qualifying, Avneet placed further down at 39th. Anjali shot a total of 393/400 and Avneet 389/400.

Jung, a Melbourne Commonwealth Games [Images] multiple gold medallist, shot a disappointing score of 570/600 and finished 42nd among 48 shooters in the qualifying event.

Chinese Pang Wei qualified first with a score of 586/600.
