Union Defence Minister Pranab Mukherjee on Tuesday congratulated double trap shooter Major Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore on becoming the first Indian to win a silver medal in an individual event at the Olympics.
"You have done the armed forces proud and brought honour to India by your performance par excellence," Mukherjee said in a release in Delhi today.
Rathore, who served the army in the Kargil War, won the silver in double trap shooting with a score of 179 to bring India's first medal at the ongoing Athens Olympics Games.

I remember reading an article few days back in Times of India saying the army's attempt for an olympics misfired and no hopes.

This result will atleast silence those pessimistic crowd. I just see this as a "begining" for India's achievements in sports. Instead of paying so much attention to cricket, if our people turn atleats 5% of their interest to other sports events, we could produce much better results than today.
I Wish Indian Hockey team / tennis pair will secure some more in Athens!
