November 19: <\/strong>Indian teenager Rudrankksh Balasaheb Patil created history in the Egyptian capital Cairo, pulling off a dramatic 17-15 victory over Italy\u2019s Danilo Dennis Sollazzo in the gold medal match and has been crowned World Champion in the Men\u2019s 10m Air Rifle, an Olympic event. With a stunning comeback in the gold medal match, 18-year-old Rudrankksh Patil became the senior men\u2019s 10m air rifle world champion.<\/p>\n

They were winning the Olympic quota spot and finishing in the top two, which Rudrankksh Balasaheb Patil already assured. It was a special day in Cairo at the ISSF World Championship Rifle\/Pistol for India. But the teenager-created sensation by becoming the world champion and thrillingly added\u00a0icing to the cake.<\/p>\n

With a stunning comeback in the gold medal match at the Egypt International Olympic City (EIOC) shooting range, the The18-year-old Patil became the senior men\u2019s 10m air rifle world champion and earned India\u2019s second place in Paris 2024 Olympic Games quota.<\/p>\n

Rudrankksh Balasaheb Patil had put up posters in his room in Thane; the \u2018Paris 2024\u2019 signs printed in bold letters remind the 18-year-old air rifle shooter of his dream of winning a medal at the Olympics. One of the posters is at eye level for Rudrankksh to see when he enters his room He told me he pasted it up because he wanted \u2018Paris 2024\u2019 to be the last thing he sees when he looks up before he goes to sleep and when he wakes up the first thing he sees is the poster says his father SP Police Palghar Balasaheb Patil.<\/p>\n

While the Olympic quota belongs to the country, Patil\u2019s gold medal is his. India has won Gold Medals, Titles, World Cups and even World Championships in various categories, which comes every four years as this is the first for India In 10mcategory in World Championships since\u00a0Abhinav Bindra\u00a0won his in 2006. It also marks him as a rifle shooter to watch out for; beginning in 2006, winners of the 10m air rifle event at the World Championships have gone on to medal at the subsequent Olympic games.<\/p>\n

Rudrankksh\u2019s gold certainly didn\u2019t come easy. Patil topped qualification with 633.9. He didn\u2019t have a single shot under10.1.in the Gold Medal Match, in 11 of the 15 shots, Patil scored 10.5 or Higher -an incredibly high standard. There can be no caveats to his performance. This was a stacked field in Cairo (Except for Russia\u2019s Vladimir Maslennikov, each of the finalists from the Tokyo 2020 Games was participating). \u201cAll these shooters are those Rudrankksh has idolised,\u201d says Balasaheb Patil.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is a massive fan of (China\u2019s) Yang Haoran and (Hungary\u2019s) Istvan Peni. Even in the past, he would keep talking about them; He would discuss how they train, how they stand, and how they behave during competition. He used to watch videos of them. He admires their style. He likes observing how they play. He reads everything about them. He was excited to compete with them at Cairo,\u201d says Balasaheb. While Rudrankksh might once have been poring over his competitor\u2019s biographies, a few will likely do the same for him now.<\/p>\n

Rudrankkah Patil started his shooting career six years ago when Balasaheb, a deputy commissioner of police, was invited to inaugurate a shooting range in Thane, where he began to train with Snehal Papalkar when he was thirteen. He was dreaming only about shooting and was teaching at Balasaheb shooting range in Vile Parle. At that time,\u00a0he spent nearly 8 hours a day in travel and practice. At that time, he felt unfortunate that he didn\u2019t have friends like other kids. And I motivated him to say, \u201cEveryone will one day tell you were a classmate, Said Balasaheb Patil.<\/p>\n

In 2021 Rudrankksh won a silver medal at the Junior World Championship and followed that up with a gold medal at the ISSF World Cup in Suhl earlier this year. But Rudrankksh\u2019s father was saying that he was looking for a senior level and was only 17 years old at the time of the Olympics, where he did not qualify and was disappointed and took some time to recover from it and finally reasoned for not training, He felt even if he had gone to the Olympics; he didn\u2019t have the experience to compete and win a medal,\u201d he says. Rudraksha has been slowly building himself up for the senior stage.\u00a0He took part in two World Cups this year, reaching the final at the one in Cairo. A week ago, he emphasised his position as the best in India by winning gold at the National Games in Ahmedabad. Now he\u2019s cemented that claim with the World Championship medal and the Olympic quota.<\/p>\n

Hemangini Patil said I feel\u00a0honoured to be the mother of the world champion. As a companion of his journey, my mind is very clear about his fantabulous win because his nature and attitude are the base of his achievements. He is very calm, relaxed and a perfectionist in every aspect of life. He will only give up any task if he finishes it with the highest potential. She further\u00a0said her\u00a0father,\u00a0Balasaheb knows his son will be happy and will likely celebrate the win. \u201cHe is a bit of a foodie. Whenever he travels abroad, he makes it a point to try something from the place. He\u2019ll probably have a good meal after this win. He loves his chicken and his pasta,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

But while he might allow a bit of revelry in Cairo, Balasaheb knows that his son is already preparing for the next challenge. \u201cThe Olympic medal has always been his goal. He told me during the Olympics that if he goes to Paris, he will be so well prepared that he will win a medal. That\u2019s his mentality; even now that he\u2019s won a quota, he\u2019s only going to be thinking about that medal,\u201d says Balasaheb. Patil SP Police Palghar<\/p>\n
