Achievements: Events won by Gagan Narang:
Gagan Narang is a gold medalist in the Afro Asian games, 2003 in Hyderabad on October 26, 2003 in Men's 10m air rifle competition and won an air rifle gold medal at the World Cup 2006 and followed that event in April 2008.
In a pre-Olympic event in Hannover, Germany, Gagan shot an air rifle score higher than the world record, 704.3 as opposed to 703.1 set by Thomas Farnik of Austria in the World Cup 2006.
Gagan qualified for the 2008 ISSF World Cup Final after he won a bronze in the World Cup in China earlier in 2008. Gagan shot a perfect 600 in the qualification round. He scored 103.5 in the final round making total score of 703.5 to gain the world record and broke Austria's Thomas Farnik's record, set in the 2006 World Cup final in Granada, Spain. Gagan said his win was special because Barack Obama, who won the United States' Presidential election on same day, was a source of inspiration.
In Aug, 2010 Gagan has publicly expressed his displeasure after not getting the prestigious Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna award and he threatened to skip the 2010 Commonwealth Games
