Who is Sarabjot Singh? The Punjab shooter who collaborated with Bhaker in mixed team event
The 22-year-old Punjab native has been making waves in the shooting circuit with his impressive skills and consistency.
Sarabjot’s journey to the Olympics began at a young age, inspired by his father, a former army man. He started training in 2017 and quickly rose through the ranks, winning numerous national and international titles.
At the Paris Olympics, Sarabjot failed to qualify in the final of individual 10m air pistol event.
But the young shooter made some brilliant shots on target in the 10m mixed team event, along with Manu Bhaker to win a Bronze medal.
Sarabjot’s strengths lie in his mental toughness and ability to handle pressure. He credits his success to his coach, Rahul Pandit, and his family’s unwavering support.
