India has now surpassed their Tokyo Olympics medal tally

With Singhraj's bronze medal, India has now surpassed their Tokyo Olympics medal tally.

Will India's day take a turn for better?

Unlike yesterday, it was a slow start to the day for India today. While seven Indian athletes - Rubina Francis, Rakesh Kumar, Bhagyashri Jadhav, Simran, Bhavina Patel, Sonalben Patel and Manish Narwal, exited without adding on to their tally, Singhraj stood there like a rock.

There were moments when it felt, Singhraj would slip up. But, he did not. Instead, he embraced the pressure and emerged as a champion!

Hopefully, this is what turnsaround India's day in Tokyo.

MEDAL NUMBER 8 FOR INDIA

Singhraj's bronze is the eighth medal India has won in this edition of the Tokyo Paralympics and their second in shooting after Avani Lekhara's gold!

BRONZE FOR SINGHRAJ and INDIAAAAA!

Add one more to that medal tally, for Singhraj has won the bronze medal in Men's 10m Air Pistol SH1.

With all eyes on Manish Narwal after his splendid show in the qualification round, it was Singhraj who stood up in the final with a terrific performance.
