India Finally Wins Olympics Individual Gold Medal

India finally won its first individual Olympics gold medal after Abhinav Bindra won the 10m air rifle shooting event in Beijing.Some may say it was long overdue but considering the shambolic state that Indian sports is in(except cricket that is) its no surprise that it took such a long time.Even though so much money is pumped into cricket,the Indian team is busy getting its ass kicked in Sri Lanka whereas our athletes who rarely get any financial monetary support from either the SAI or the IOC are managing to bring home medals(or should i say medal considering that they have won only one medal each over the last three Olympic games).Its about time the focus shifts from cricket to other games whose players have as much potential.Hopefully this gold medal may go some way in changing the current scenario impossible as much it may seem.However for the present Abhinav Bindra CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
