Sanjeev Rajput became the third man to bring home a shooting Gold after Jitu Rai and Anish Bhanwala. He did so while creating a Games Record as well.

Rajput's score of 454.5 brought him a Gold in Gold Coast. His total would've also got him the third position two years earlier in Rio, presenting him with a Bronze medal.

In Rio, another Frenchman, Alexis Raynaud, took home the Bronze medal with a score of 448.4. Rajput's total at the Gold Coast Games would've put him more than 6 points ahead of Raynaud.
