A ''HUGE STONE" OFF HIS CHEST, BRONZE MEDALIST GAGAN NARANG LOOKS TO DO BETTER IN OTHER SHOOTINGS EVENTS

Gagan Narang finally stepped out of the shadows of Abhinav Bindra as he scored an incredible 10.7 with his last shot to win India's first medal at the London Olympics - a bronze in the 10m air rifle event.
After two days of misery, during which the Indian archers shot like novices at Lord's, this was the day for one of the most riveting Olympic rivalries between two Indians.
Even though Narang and Bindra never admit their rivalry, when the two stand in their shootings lanes and fire at the target situated 10 metres away, they are trying to ougtun each other.
Beijing Olympics champion Bindra had a huge slump in form and was under pressure, as a result of which he could score only 594 and did not make the final. The 29-year-old Indian was not shooting the way he does and the consistency was missing. Once he shot three 9s in the last series, he was down in the dumps.
But put this man in the shooting range and he is a picture of concentration. On Monday, the burly Narang was confidence personified. Compared to the rest of the shooters in the hall, he took more time to complete his 60 shots in the preliminary phase. But all that was preparation for his superb 598/600 where he began with two straight 100s and then scored a 98.
In the final, the lead virtually changed hands after every shot. For some time, it looked like Niccolo Campriani was emerging as the champion. However, in a last burst, Romania's Alin George Moldoveanu clinched gold with consistent efforts for an aggregate of 702.1.
As the giant electronic scoreboards flashed the result, Narang, who till then stood like a statue, showed the first sign of emotion. He waved to the hall and then lifted his air rifle.
Coach Stanislaus Lapidus was, however, not too pleased with Narang's effort. "He should have become the champion today. I am very sad," said Lapidus, who has been helping out all the rifle shooters.
Later, speaking at the press conference, Narang said: "I agree with my coach. Now that I have two more events to compete in, so he is going to keep me away from you (the media)."

TOUGH DRAWS MEAN SANIA-PAES OUR MAIN HOPES

Coming to tennis, Wimbledon ended three weeks ago, and I've been told by players that the grass is even and as good as new. That is a wonderful achievement by the All England Club because growing grass at such a short notice is indeed a tough task.
I think Sania Mirza and Rushmi Chakravarthi, who are scheduled to face Chinese Taipei's Su Wei Hsieh and Chia-Jung Chuang in the opening round on Saturday, have the toughest draw among the Indians. Having seen the Chinese Taipei players in the Fed Cup on a couple of occasions, I can say they are a very tough doubles team.
Mahesh Bhupathi and Rohan Bopanna, too, have a difficult opening round against world No.1 Max Mirnyi and Alexander Bury of Belarus.
Leander Paes and Vishnu Vardhan have a relatively easy draw. Vishnu is playing in his maiden Olympics and will be extremely nervous. Leander will have his task cut out in trying to keep him relaxed.
In singles, Somdev Devvarman has got a first-round match that he would like to play. He has been drawn against Finland's Jarkko Nieminen, whose favourite surface is not grass.
In the mixed doubles, I feel Sania and Paes have the best chance of winning a medal. It is indeed heartening that they had a couple of good practice sessions, and I hear from Sania that the practice was in good spirits.

LONDON EYE: NARANG'S WIN EASES OFF PRESSURE FROM INDIAN ATHLETES

To those not so conversant with shooting, this was billed as a battle between Abinav Bindra and Gagan Narang. At one stage, the packed hall was choking and supporters of both Bindra and Narang were hoping that both would be in the final.
Take the cases of Leander Paes, Karnam Malleswari, RVS Rathore and now Bindra. After winning medals in Atlanta, Sydney, Athens and Beijing respectively, they have been unable to produce the same magic four years later

MURRAY BROTHERS BITTEN IN DOUBLE

Andy and Jamie Murray suffered a disappointing first-round exit against Austria's Jurgen Melzer and Alexander Peya in the Olympic doubles event.
The British brothers had their chances after winning the first set and forcing a second set tie-break, but the Austrians prevailed 5-7 7-6 (8-6) 7-5.
Elena Baltacha marked her Olympic debut with a 6-3 6-4 singles win over Agnes Szavay of Hungary at Wimbledon.
But Anne Keothavong lost 4-6 6-3 6-2 to Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark.
The Murray brothers had the better of things for much of the two hours and 32 minutes they were on Court Two, twice leading by a break in the final set.
However, elder brother Jamie lost serve twice as they were pegged back, and once again in the 12th game as the Austrians clinched victory.
"It was tough. We played well," said Andy Murray. "We were a break up twice in the third set. We had enough chances to win the match, but each time we got the break we got broken straight back, so it was tough."
Asked about the raucous crowd, he added: "They did a great job. They were really loud from the first point to the last.
Britain's other hopes in the men's doubles, Colin Fleming and Ross Hutchins, were beaten 7-5 6-3 by Frenchmen Julien Benneteau and Richard Gasquet, while Heather Watson and Laura Robson let an early lead slip as Angelique Kerber and Sabine Lisicki of Germany won 1-6 6-4 6-3.

The Swiss world number one was given a stern test by Colombian Alejandro Falla - who almost stunned him at Wimbledon in 2010 - before winning 6-3 5-7 6-3.
American fourth seed Williams beat Jelena Jankovic of Serbia 6-3 6-1.
Belgium's Kim Clijsters, set to retire at the end of the season, overcame Roberta Vinci of Italy 6-1 6-4.
Clijsters next plays Spaniard Carla Suarez Navarro, while Williams will take on Urszula Radwanska of Poland.
"It's a huge deal," said Federer about the prospect of winning his first Olympic singles gold medal. "It would be a massive highlight of my life.
"I remember the emotions I had winning the gold with my Stan [Wawrinka, in the doubles at Beijing 2008].
"I have a chance, I'm the number one player in the world so I should have a chance, at medals and hopefully gold.
"It's already the fourth Olympics for me so I will give it all I have."
Czech sixth seed Tomas Berdych, the 2010 Wimbledon runner-up, was upset 6-4 6-4 by Steve Darcis of Belgium.
Berdych was a potential quarter-final opponent for Britain's Andy Murray, who faces Stanislas Wawrinka on Sunday.

"The crowd was tremendous, but the Aussies just raced negatively."
Australia's Michael Rogers, who was a team-mate of Cavendish's during the Tour de France, told BBC Sport: "Cavendish is a great athlete.
"He is the world's fastest man. Credit to him, his team gave it their best. They rode strong and took the race by the horns. They really took responsibility, but that's cycling."
Cavendish, who finished 29th, refused to blame his team-mates, who included 2012 Tour de France champion Bradley Wiggins and runner-up Chris Froome.

RYAN LOCHTE WINS MEDLEY GOLD AS MICHEAL PHELPS FINISHES FOURTH

Ryan Lochte thrashed American compatriot and double Olympic champion Michael Phelps to take 400m individual medley gold.
Phelps, the greatest all-round swimmer his sport has seen and gold medallist in both Athens and Beijing, was left without even a bronze as Brazil's Thiago Pereira took second and Japan's Kosuke Hagino third.
But this was all about Lochte, the brash rising star, seizing ascendancy in buccaneering fashion.
At the US trials this summer, Lochte had won his duel with Phelps by less than a second. In London, his four minutes 05.18 seconds put him almost four seconds clear of his rival, who clocked 4:09.28.
Lochte went off hard and turned off the butterfly leg, supposedly Phelps's strongest, 0.2 seconds in front. That advantage became 2.55 seconds after the backstroke as Hagino came past the struggling champion.
