Ah, what a great news this is. At last. After such a long time. It feels good to know that we can give other people a run for their money at other sports. When I mean other sports I mean other than cricket and hockey.

Hakkinen’s (bronze) performance in the final was solid, but it needed to be better. He averaged 10.14 per shot in the final, compared to Bindra’s 10.45.
