Vivaan Kapoor bowed out 2-3 in a shoot-off with Tokyo Olympics bronze medallist Matthew John Coward-Holley of Great Britain, as none of the Indian trap shooters produced the title spherical at the ongoing Worldwide Taking pictures Sport Federation (ISSF) Planet Cup in Baku, Azerbaijan.
Vivaan shot 120 in qualification to get into a 3-way shoot-off for the sixth and last qualifying location with Ireland’s former junior environment winner Ian O’Sullivan, besides Coward-Holley.
Although Ian skipped his opening try in the shoot-off to exit first, Vivaan fought on only to miss his third shoot-off shot as Coward-Holley nailed all three targets to go by way of. Vivaan had to settle for seventh put.
