This performance of Swapnil Kusle is being seen as an important achievement in the shooting field of India. Earlier, India has won two medals in shooting, in which the first bronze medal was won by Manu Bhaker while the second was won by the pair of Sarabjit Singh and Manu Bhaker in the team match. India’s shooting history in the Olympics has also been very glorious. Indian shooters have always performed brilliantly and won many medals. Veterans like Abhinav Bindra, Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore and Gagan Narang have made India proud with their excellent performance in the Olympics. Abhinav Bindra created history by winning the gold medal in the 10 meter air rifle event in the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
Apart from this, Indian women have also done wonders in shooting. Shooters like Apurvi Chandela and Anjum Mudgil have brought glory to the country. This success of Swapnil Kusle has once again shown that Indian shooters have the ability to compete at the world level.
