Wow!
Here is the official olympic story
Rajyavardhan S. RATHORE (IND) - Silver medal
On his training:
"Shooting is gradually getting popular. Of course it is nothing compared to cricket because this is the main sport (in India). In the last three years shooting has been getting popular because shooters participate in international competitions. In training everyone works hard especially for competitions like the Olympics. The most important thing is to get your mental abilities correct. Together with my coaches we all work together to try and get my equipment, technique and my mind to a high standard."
On his medal:
"I'm happy to win the silver medal for India. I believe that India has the ability to win many medals. It is the belief that we can win medals. It is also the focus on the Olympic sports that gives us the hope. But unless the focus is on Olympic Sports, no youngster will ever win an Olympic Sport."
On his result:
"I didn't see the scoreboard because of the distance. Although, I saw what the score was but I didn't lose my concentration."
On his training:
"Moving away from home took some weight off my shoulders. We worked hard and we achieved something and I think the credit must go to everyone, to the whole sport and to everyone, not just me. Yes I have been away for months to see what the competition was like abroad and of course to get away from the media."
