Ace shooter Gagan Narang, who won four gold medals at last month's Commonwealth Games, will be India's flag-bearer at the opening ceremony of the 16th Asian Games in Guangzhou, China on November 12. This was announced by Indian Olympic Association president Suresh Kalmadi in New Delhi today. Kalmadi said of the 27-year-old rifle shooter has been chosen not only because he emerged India's best athlete in the Commonwealth Games with four gold medals but also because he has been one of the most consistent performers for India in the past few years. Gagan Narang first shot into limelight in the Afro-Asian Games in Hyderabad. Kalmadi added that in 2008, the shooter won the 10 metres air rifle gold in the World Cup finals and earlier this year, claimed bronze in the World championship. He is also ranked world No 4 in the 10 metres air rifle event. Kalmadi said that it is a pleasure to have such choice and it strengthens the belief that Olympic sport in India is progressing in the right direction. The Asian Games will be held in the Guangzhou from November 12 to 27.
