The Hindu  

Gagan Narang wears several hats but the one he feels most passionately about is Indian shooting. “Someone winning a medal at the age of 19 is fantastic – Esha, Ramita, Mehuli, Rudrankksh, Aishwary – so it definitely looks good. We have had some unexpected performances here, specially in team events, and I am looking forward to taking back more shooting medals than the previous editions.” He added that while the winning age was getting lower, the temperament was getting better. We need to work on particular events, like the shotgun events, and areas where are missing narrowly, finishing 4th or 5th,” Narang said.
