TIL Desk Sports/ Olympic bronze-medallist shooter Gagan Narang has revealed that the ISSF World Cup in 2008 was a redemption tournament for him.
Narang had qualified for the 2008 ISSF World Cup Final after he won a gold in the World Cup in China earlier in 2008. Gagan shot a perfect 600 in the qualification round. He scored 103.5 in the final round making total score of 703.5 to gain the universe record. “The shooting World Cup in 2008 was like the redemption tournament for me as I had come out of a lot of adversity.
My mom was hospitalised and I had to take care of my home and family both. It was a very very challenging situation for me and I am glad that with the support system, I could overcome this hurdle and shoot a world record,” said Narang recently while speaking on ‘The A-Game’ show presented by Olympic silver medallist PV Sindhu.
