Good start of the Asian Championship for our shooters ... Today we won 1 Gold and 1 Silver ... Happy to see Abhinav getting back to the form and Gagan is also getting his touch back.

Abhinav Bindra qualified for the final in 3rd position with 597 points behind two Chinese, who were on 598 points ... After poor first round Gagan recovered to qualify in 5th with 595 points behind another Chinese, who were at 597 points ... Very high scoring final, where all 8 shooters scored over 100 pts in their 10 shots ... Our both Indians scored best top 2 scores in the final ... That helped Abhinav to beat Chinese duo to won the Gold medal but Gagan finished on 4th position despite solid shooting ... Very satisfying performance by Abhinav and Gagan in Olympics year.

In team event we managed to win Silver .. Our total score was only 1 point better than Mongolians ... But Chinese won the Gold with long distant ... They created a new world record bettering previous record of Russia by 1 point.

In 50m PISTOL MEN event we had poor results ... In team event we finished on dismissal 9th position ... In individual event, Om Prakash finished on 14th position with 554 points ... Omkar Singh finished on 20th and Amanpreet Singh on 21st with 548 points.
