1 of 6
05.30 pm - It was fantastic being with you on this very special day for Indian sport. Gagan Narang has opened the account for India at London Olympics. We only hope this is just the beginning of many more medals to come over the next 10 days of competition. Hope you enjoyed our coverage here on MSN India. Till we meet again, it is goodbye from all of us.
05.20 pm - Outstanding achievement by the ace shooter. Gagan was always going to have a tough fight in his hands after finishing 3rd in the qualifying but how well he held his nerve in the final. There were moments when you felt he could have got a Silver or Gold but Bronze at an Olympic event is not bad at all. Just what the doctor ordered for India. Can the contingent get the much-needed lift from the Gagan feat? Here is the final tally from the Men’s 10M air rifle event:
