Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), Aug.8 : 2008 Beijing Gold Medallist Abhinav Bindra, who was expected to provide a much-needed turnaround for the Indian shooting contingent, failed to clinch a medal in the finals of the Men's 10m Air Rifle event on Day three of the 2016 Rio Olympics here at the Olympic Shooting Centre on Monday.
