A Shining Success which remained unseen

Munich International Air gun Competition:
A good performance by Indian shooters again…

On the first day of the International Air Gun Competition (Munich, Germany) Zakhir Khan has won a gold in the Jr. men's 10m air pistol event. Amanpreet Singh won the bronze in the same event. While Amit Kumar Pilaniya stood sixth.

On day two, Amit Kumar Pilaniya has won silver in Jr. men's 10m air pistol 2nd match. Amanpreet Singh won a Bronze in this event and Zakhir Khan stood fourth.
On Day three, Gagan Narang won silver in men's 10m air rifle event- 2nd Match. He has beaten Matthew Emmons of USA in the shoot off for the silver medal.

Suma Shirur, who finished fifth in the firs match, came to win a Bronze in second match of the women's 10m air rifle event.
Anjali Bhagwat finished 19th, Tejaswani Sawant 30th while Avneet Kaur Sidhu finished 58th.

It’s a moment of glory for India and sadly, it’s not been noticed well by the media. We have performed remarkably well in Munich and these are just snapshots of that success. While there are a lots and lots of hours being spent on so called “News” about Ash-Abhishek, and things like that. Why there is no News about it? I guess it’s because there is no “footage” of it. I just have to imagine what might have happened there… Congrats to the Team.
