The ISSF tournament for rifle, pistol and shotgun assumes significance as it is considered a test event before the Rio Olympic Games in August.


In the first qualification round of the men's trap event, former world champion and World No 1 Manavjit missed two targets out of 50 to end the day in eighth spot.

Youngster Chenai, who will be going to his first Olympics, was a point below, shooting a score of 47 to lie in 14th position.

There are 75 more targets to go before the top six make it to the final round, scheduled for Sunday.
