MHSN will be happy, Fourughi was flawless.

He has been flawless since the beginning of the year. Red hot form.

I totally skipped those World Cups, i didnt know that his form has rised even before Tokyo. 

Feel sorry for your compatriot. I expected a medal, TBH.

Even we did. He is normally very composed. But, was not at his best since the pandemic. In the end, the form of Faroughi and experience of Mikec and Pang won. Saurabh is still young, this is a valuable learning experience for him. Hopefully, he would win the medal in the Mixed team.

In terms of mental stabillity i observe Indian shooters same as Chinese shooters. At least from those times when India was winning olympic medals - Beijing 2008 for e.g.

Lets see what girls will do.

Foroughi is a class act. Dont know where he was all these years.

that's what everybody asks here he is +40 but still very new to this sport.

 

btw he is also a nurse and had a tough year (2 year actually) dealing with COVID patients too.

Yeah. I just love his composure and how even when he had the Gold medal virtually in his pocket shot a 10+ score. How are your women's pistol shooters? Will you be leaving one medal for us in the mixed team?

Out of curiousity: why do most of these pistol shooters have their non-shooting hand in the pocket of their sweatpants as if they're waiting for their buddy at the corner of the street?  

 

I'm assuming it's a balance thing?
