Abhinav Bindra won the gold medal in men's 10 metre air rifle event of the shooting competition at Beijing Olympics. The gold medal is India's first since 1980, when the hockey team emerged triumphant in Moscow. I am extremely impressed and happy about this accomplishment! Its great to see this happen. I hope this encourages Indians to take part in more sports (other than just cricket).

I'm really happy too. When I saw the live medal ceremony where they played the National Anthem and the flag went up I felt goosebumps!

GOLD? surprising. and cannot believe. getting a medal.. may be.. but, indians getting gold in olympics.. I think.. india is getting back to something speakable and worthy of.. as you said rightly, other than cricket. But, I would have felt more glad..if it is in hockey. WONDERFUL Information, thankyou for sharing.
