Abhinav Bindra makes History- India Bags Olympic Gold !!!

And finally the wait is over, a looong wait had come to an end, when Abhinav Bindra shot the Gold in the 10 meters air rifle event at the 2008 Olympics. It is a stunning news, i was dumbstruck on hearing that India has got the first Gold in an individual event in the 108 years long Olympics history.

Abhinav got 104.5 points in the final round which added up to his total of 700.5 and he got a lead of 0.8 points than the silver medalist Zhu qinan who got 699.7 and the Bronze medalist Henri Hakkinen got 699.4 points.

This victory of Abhinav Bindra has set the spirit of the Millions (i should say Billion :-) ) of Indians on high. I’m sure that this will add up to the morale of the Indian squad in Beijing.

And India gets a Gold in Olympics after a wait of 28 years. Indian Hockey Men got the last  Gold in the 1980 Olympics.

This has taken the India to the 12th position in the Medal Standings. And i wish that India get few more medals and lift the Indian banners on high :-)

And finally a hearty Congradulations to Abhinav Bindra, ‘A man who rewrote the Indian Olympic history’.
