India’s Gold-Shooting Star!

 

Does it take a gold to spark an interest in sports?

India’s 23-year-old Abhinav Bindra created history today in Beijing, by wining the first gold medal in any individual category for India in the 108-year Olympics history. He won the gold medal in men’s 10-meter air rifle event after earning a total of 700.5 points.

Abhinav thus became the first Indian individual gold medalist at the Olympics.

Now that we have a winner to be proud of, will it spark a greater interest in Olympics for Indians? Do you think we will have more winners in Olympics? Who will be the next champion? How do you feel about this victory, Answerers? Are you clued in to Olympics 2008? Leave us a comment.
