Manish’s father Dilbag said on Friday that his son desperately wanted to win the 10m air pistol medal in Paris. “Yes, he did win the 50m pistol gold in Tokyo, but his aim was to win a medal in 10m air pistol as well. He topped the qualification in Tokyo, but unfortunately, finished seventh in the finals,” said Dilbag. “He called us a little while back and said he was sorry that he couldn’t bring the gold medal. But we told him, it’s a massive achievement after the Tokyo disappointment,” said Dilbag.
