The 25-year-old had a fantastic Olympic debut, but he was unfortunate to lose out on a podium finish by the narrowest of margins. He later talked about how difficult it had been for him to accept the defeat.
Babuta remarked, “I didn’t realize what had happened until they proclaimed the new Olympic champion.
In addition, Babuta talked about how he destroyed the “Paris Olympics Gold Medallist” poster he had hung in his closet before the competition.
“As soon as it returned, I tore it and put it in the trash.

With his final shot coming in at 9.5, Babuta painfully lost out on a bronze medal; instead, the Indian had to settle for fourth place.
That shot, in my opinion, was a 10.7 or 10.8. You can see how shocked I was to see it was a 9.5 when I watched the replays. None of us, including me, know why the shot received a 9.5, and the video doesn’t explain it either, Babuta added.
He believed that “so many things happen because of destiny.”
After hearing of Babuta’s anguish in Paris, 2008 Beijing Olympics 10m Air Rifle gold champion Abhinav Bindra encouraged him to get back on the horse.
