Indian rower Dattu Baban Bhokanal finished fourth in the quarter-finals of the men'ssingle sculls to be out of medal reckoning in the Rio Olympic Games here on Tuesday.

Shooter Heena Sidhu, from whom a lot was expected in the run-up to the ongoing Olympic Games, put up yet another flop show to finish a distant 20th in the 25m pistol event for women.
