Sport can be such a great leveller. On one day, it can put you down by the narrowest of margins and others it can uplift you to great heights.

India’s Gurpreet Singh, who, so narrowly missed out on an Olympic quota berth in the 25m Rapid Pistol Fure event on Saturday, sealed a spot in the 10m Air Pistol fire category on Sunday after he finished fourth in the finals of the ISSF Rifle and Pistol World Cup in Munich.
