Earlier, India kicked off its presence at the medals tally by clinching a silver medal in the 10m air rifle shooting team event. The Indian trio of Gagan Narang, Abhinav Bindra and Sanjeev Rajput beat Korea to bag the silver in the event. China grabbed the gold with Jikang Yu, Qinan Zhu and Yifei Cao in the team.
With this status India maintains fifth position so far at the event and as aspired by our teams, India hopefully will be consistent on this position .
