London: Shooter Shagun Chowdhary`s campaign at the London Olympics ended on a disappointing note as she failed to qualify for the finals of the women`s trap event after finishing 20th on Saturday.
Shagun finished a lowly 20th out of 22 competitors at the Royal Artillery Barracks.
The 29-year-old from Jaipur started off reasonably well by shooting 23 out of 25, but a 17 in the second series saw her slip down. A 21 in the third round gave her a total of 61, which was never going to be enough.
Jessica Rossi of Italy topped the qualification round on her way to a world record score of 75. She shot 25 in all the series.
Slovakia`s Zuzana Stefechekova came second with 73 while Suzanne Balogh of Australia had to be content with a third-place finish after firing 72 in the qualifiers.
Shagun was the first woman shooter from India to qualify for the trap event of the Olympic Games.
