Ace rifleman Gagan Narang made India proud by winning its first medal - a bronze.Narang, 29, participating in his third Games, aggregated 701.1 (598 qualifying, 103.1 final) to finish third in his pet 10 metre air rifle at the Royal Artillery Barracks range, triggering celebrations among the Indian diaspora here and the countrymen back home.Narang's exploits lifted the gloom that had set in after his illustrious compatriot and defending champion Abhinav Bindra - India's only individual Olympic gold medallist - failed to make it to the final of the same event in the morning. Narang, who missed the final round in Beijing Games on a countback, was in his elements. In the final round, he had a series of 10.7, 9.7, 10.6, 10.7, 10.4, 10.6, 9.9, 9.5, 10.3 and 10.7 to put the country into the medal bracket at the Games.Bindra, however, failed to qualify as he shot 594 to finish 16th out of 47 contestants and lost the chance to defend his title. In the qualifying round, Narang shot perfect series of 100 in all the rounds except the third when he scored 98. He also shot 53 inner 10s.
Narang later, said he had achieved what he came for. "Whatever I came here to do, I have achieved. I have had a great journey, I have had my share of ups and downs but it has been very exciting," he told reporters here.
"It still doesn't feel like I have won an Olympics medal. This medal has evaded me and I have finally got it." Bindra, on the other hand, said luck deserted him during the qualification round.
