Vinh was competing with 67 top world shooters at the event. He is the only one among the three Vietnamese shooters to enter the final round.
In the final round, Vinh was unable to defeat his two rivals, one of whom triumphed at the World Cup 2014 and the other won gold medal in 10m slow-fire pistol event at the earlier World Cup in April this year in the Republic of Korea.
