NEW DELHI: Tomar had won the quota in 10m air pistol by winning gold at the Asian Championships last year. But he was edged out by Arjun Singh Cheema in the trials.

Tomar, 21, took it in his stride and made an impressive comeback in the just-ended National Championships, winning both the senior and junior (U-21) titles. "There was disappointment but then I thought of focusing on my shooting. I try to take win and loss in my stride and learn from every tournament. This tournament was a fresh start," says Tomar.
