India has now two medals- silver and bronze each. Vijay Kumar has won one silver medal in shooting. He belongs to India army. His Home State Himachal Pradesh and His twon Hamirpur are rejoicing. Heartiest congratulation.

A very heart-warming news! A great performance providing the silver lining to the dark clouds of non-performance. My heart reach out to Joydeep Karmakar who put up a very creditable performance but missed very narrowly a bronze!
He is from your state. Isn't it?
Yes! He was not even originally selected and was there on a wild card! He practiced with borrowed guns yet nearly made it! It all underlines the need to spot talents at the grassroots and train them for big events. It's a big ask in India. Not at all surprising that medal tally looks so awfully short of character!
In the case of Vijay Kumar also, only a few people were in the stadium to watch it. So, a little supporters. Actually, no one was interested in him. After winning a medal also, only a few came to congratulate him. He got an Indian flag in his hand after a long wait. Really surprising!!!!
I think, no one expected his victory though he was the gold medal winner of common wealth games

It's really very sad that we open a thread for each winner in Olympics and celebrating each one. How many threads can we open?????? If it's the case of China, they may open 1000 threads to congratulate every winner. That's the difference between India and China. Hoping, we will do much better next Olympics.

No need for player wise thread. Just one thread 'Olympics' will do.

It's true, all Indians including me have ignored his talent till now. But he is saying, he was able to perform well since it kept him out of stress and expectations
