Biography
Sarabjot Singh’s impressive medal cabinet includes gold medals at the World Championships, Asian Games and the ISSF World Cup. But his biggest dream - to finish on the Olympic podium - was finally fulfilled at Paris 2024.
Sarabjot’s Olympic debut campaign, however, began with a heartbreak. He missed out on a place in the men’s 10m air pistol individual final by a whisker. Despite finishing with the same points as the eighth-placed German shooter Robin Walter, Sarabjot was ranked ninth in the qualification round on the count of inner 10s.
But four days later, when another opportunity to finish on the Olympic podium arrived in the air pistol mixed team event, Sarabjot made no mistake. Alongside Manu Bhaker, Sarabjot defeated the Republic of Korea’s Lee Wonho and Oh Ye-jin in the bronze match to claim his first Olympic medal.
The journey from a village from Ambala to the Olympic podium in Paris had its hardships, but the young shooter fought his way through to become one of the select few Indians to win an Olympic medal.
