India wins first ever individual gold medal at the Olympics

Abhinav Bindra Wins the First gold medal in any Individual event for India in Olympics. This is the golden day for India, Abhinav Bindra did what no one else has done in Indian Olympic History.

"I can't describe how happy I am," the ever-calm Bindra told journalists. "It's the thrill of my life. That's about it. It's hard to describe. I just went for it. I knew I was lying in fourth. Thankfully it went my way and I just went for it."

Abhinav Bindra won gold medal in the Men’s 10 metre Air Rifle event in Beijing. He was tied 4th to qualify for the final round but shot excellently to win the gold medal. India’s other shooter Gagan Narang was unlucky to not to make it to the finals.

wow ,its amazing that a country with the population the size of India has never won an individual gold before - just amazing! I think us Aussies take them too much for granted.

I hope other atheletes take some inspiration from Abhinav Bindra’s Gold Medal winning effort and perform excellently in the remaining part of the games.

Waiting for some more Gold Medals :)

CHAK DE INDIA :)
