Sarabjot Singh couldn't believe his luck on the biggest day of his blossoming shooting career. On Olympic debut at the Paris Games on Saturday, he huffed and puffed during the 10m air pistol qualification, stumbled, but got back on his feet like a boxer before the count of 10, throwing a punch back like he knows best -- with all 10s to post 100 in one of the six series.
It brought Sarabjot to the edge of top eight -- the bracket in the air pistol qualification round that ensures a shooter a place in the final. He started with an uncharacteristic 94, then rose to register 97, hung in with a 96 next and then the 100 to remind his opponents that he still hasn't lost control over his trigger.
