This was his fav even though , should have got a gold here ...but its a relief to finally have a medal , this should give more confidence to other Indian athletes .

he last shot was incredible but the 2 shots before that were not so great thats why he missed on the silver.

If anyone wants to write a book on Gagan Narang then he/she can just switch on some Indian news channel right now and they will get all the material in the next 2 hours :D

Gagan will now be an IAS officer - any Olympic medallist will be automatically made a IAS officer: Ajay Maken

[Sidhoni]

His 7th and 8th shots were 9.9 and 9.5 respectively, that is the reason he missed out on silver.

Congrats narang! Though i haven't been really following the Olympics to closely except for Indian hockey but feels good to get off the mark :isalute:

[Sidhoni]

Narang will be awarded Rs.1 crore by the Haryana govt.! :hatsoff:

[asterix]

:hatsoff: Gagan...

[Sidhoni]

His other 2 events are on 3rd and 6th of August.

[Trichromatic]

Watched it live. It was very close. He was once at 4th place, but he bounced back well to ensure a medal for India.

[bihutoli]

At last! Was hoping for gold, but a medal from Narang nevertheless.

:yay::yay::yay: Congrats Gagan. Was counting on him since CWG(4 golds) and he delivered. Was so nervous today almost as if it was India-Pak world cup match.

Narang will be awarded Rs.1 crore by the Haryana govt.! :hatsoff:

:two_thumbs_up: Hariyana govt is doing a great job in this regard. If someone represents Hariyana at the national level, they give him/her a govt. job, so that their future is secure. Because of that we are seeing so many boxers and wrestlers from Hariyana.Almost half of our Hockey team is from a small town of population 50000 Shahbad, near Ambala. Hopefully other states will take some inspiration and Central govt. will invest more money over here.
