NEW DELHI: The ongoing Commonwealth Shooting Championships have been plagued by embarrassing incidents. Sunday offered its own quota of the bizarre - the Indian 25m rapid fire pistol team won the gold medal even before they got to shoot.
Because, they were the only team competing. Quite unbelievable but true. For the record, Vijay Kumar and Pemba Tamang set a Commonwealth record en route to the 'gold.'
The duo's performance, especially by Vijay Kumar, was excellent as the latter shot a personal best of 588, but the event exposed the level of competition in the Championships. The event had four shooters, three from India and one from Gibraltar - thus making the hosts the only team in fray - as it was a pair event.
