Glasgow: Shooter Harpreet Singh today blasted the "faulty lighting system" at the Barry Buddon Centre, saying it cost him the gold medal since the penalty he copped due to a delayed shot was a result of that defect. Harpreet had to be content with a silver in the 25m rapid fire pistol event.

"There was problem in the lighting system. Because of the faulty lighting, the first shot was delayed and because of that my fifth shot was out of time and I had to be docked a penalty point. That made the difference. Had it not been that, I would have been in a better position to win the gold," a visibly disappointed Harpreet said after the event.
