India’s shooting ace Sarabjot Singh has revealed the main reason why he decided to reject the offer for a government job after winning bronze medal at the Paris Olympics 2024. Sarabjot had partnered Manu Bhaker as the duo secured the third spot in the 10m air pistol mixed team event. The 22-year-old also came close to making it to the medal round of the inidividual event and missed out by a whisker.
The bronze medal in the mixed team event certainly made up for it as Sarabjot’s performance was praised by fans and critics. Following his return back home from the games, the Haryana government decided to offer him a job as a token of appreciation. However, Sarabjot decided to graciously reject it. The shooter told reporters that he won’t be taking it now as he wants to focus on shooting. Sarabjot said that he doesn’t want to go against the decisions he has made right now.
