Shooter Rathore strikes silver

Ace Indian shooter Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore provided the silver lining to India’s dismal showing at the Athens Olympics when he finished second in the final of the men’s double-trap shooting event at the 28th Olympic Games in Athens on Tuesday.

Why is every indian so proud about this ?

The only other athletes to ever win individual medals for India at the Olympics are Khashba Jadhav, in the 1952 Helsinki Games, Leander Paes, at Atlanta in 1996, and Karnam Malleshwari, in Sydney 2000. All won bronze medals.

Hopes are high!…..All the best to the Indian Team !
