15-year-old Anish Bhanwala became an overnight sensation in India when he won a Gold medal in 25m Rapid Fire Pistol. His score of 30 was not only a Games Record but would've possibly landed him a Silver Medal had he been present at the Rio Olympics.

Jean Quiquampoix of France finished second in the same event in Rio, with a score of 30 as well. In such a scenario, a medal is decided via a shoot-off which would mean that Anish could've possibly taken home the Bronze or Silver medal.

The 15-year-old won't be too bothered with this statistic, however, as he prepares for his potential Olympic debut in Tokyo.
