Elusive Gold
In many movies we hear heroes say ” In a population of a billion and more we still cant find a person who can make the country proud by winning an Olympic gold medal”. At last India have found that “One in a billion”. The credit goes to Abinav Bindra who has done the whole of India proud by clinching the Gold in 10m air rifle event in the Beijing 2008 Olympics. let this mark the new beginning of the Indian sports. When the religion of Indian Sports Cricket is struggling the others are shining. India has made it to the finals of the FInals of AFC challenge. A win here could take us through to the Asia Cup tournament. I pray God that this gold paves way for more Glory for Indian sports.
Even i wondered why we couldn win a gold in Olympics despite having a huge population. I got my answer the same night when i saw Tare Zameen Par. In one scene when Amir is happy about the boys(Darsheel) art works, the boys da would ask whats the use of it??? yeah this is what is happening in India. there is no professionalism in sports. Unless the government thinks over it we cant think of many more medals……
But for now lets hail the Champ Abinav……. Jai Hind…….. Whats even more gr8 is that this one comes when we are about to celebrate our independence Day in 4 days time…….
Let this be a good start and a stepping stone for other awaited medals.

Where there is politics – sport cannot survive.
Abinav Bindra applied his considerable funds to his own training and hence he’s been able to achieve this fate. Not everyone has such massive resources to spend on training. If the government and corporate sponsors would support athletes rather than stupid money-hungry cricketers, perhaps the sad state of Indian sport could see improvement.

He had all the facilities at his disposal. He used it well and all credit to him. He didn’t react much also after winning. I think in the last Olympics also he came close. Nice start
As for the Indian Politics, its become a traditional thing n God knows when sense will prevail.
