The 20-year-old Bhaker, who had qualified for the final with a score of 579, was in contention for the gold till the 18th shot, but a 9.1 in the 19th shot pushed her to the third position. She held on to the bronze with a 10.1 in the final shot.

Another Indian in the fray, Rhythm Sangwan, who had qualified with a score of 576, could not replicate her performance in the final and finished eighth with a score of 115.9.
