"First of all I want to apologize to those who believed in me, I put all my faith, energy, desire. Unfortunately, dear friends, today I was not able to make my old dream come true. Its implementation has been tracked forward for another four years. I believe that we will succeed in this hunting," Mosin said, alluding that he intended to continue his shooting career at least till the Olympics 2020 in Tokyo.

Commenting on his performance, Kazan shooter could not give an unambiguous reason for the failure. "Most likely, it was about large psychological burden, pressure, sleepless night before qualifying, which resulted in a bad perception of the target against the background that it was very overcast in the morning and even drizzling.
