Actually Norman Pritchard was the first Indian to win multiple medals at a single Olympics when he won two silver medals in 1900 (under British rule). Manu is the first to it in independent India though. Unreal achievement nonetheless

A gold or silver will now just top this off

So @Fly_like_a_don, @nitinsanker, @Roamingrover86 we had predicted 2 medals in Shooting, we were too pessimistic because of debacle in Rio and Tokyo. But we should commend NRAI what a fantastic job they have done this Olympic cycle. The focus of selection trials has been qualification scores which resulted in significant increase in scores compared to Tokyo, but now if we want finals conversion to medals we need to replicate that finals pressure where just 1 poor shot is end of story.

I think NRAI will definitely look into it, my opinion is to send second string shooters to World Cups and Asian Championships so we they get experience and we have enough pool to challenge our top shooters, so that next time we have minimum 8 shooters in each event instead of 5 during selection trials. Also weightage should be given to qualification scores and finals both rather than just qualification this time
