At last an Indian has won an individual olympic gold medal in the Beijing olympic 2008. Indeed a proud moment for all Indians. The title win in an individual event was eluding an Indian for so long. Ever since the start of olympics, we Indians have nursed this dream to come true . The 25 year old Delhi lad Abinav Bindra has won the title in the 10M air rifle shooting and has thus put to an end this agony of Indians. Bindra finished with 700.5 points.He has created history and will be ever remembered as India's first ever 'Golden Boy'.He surely has a Mida's touch. Let this be the begining and let us hope for more gold medals this time.
The previous best was trap shooter Rajyavardhan Rathore's silver at Athens, while there were bronze medals for wrestler Khasaba Jadhav (1952), tennis star Leander Paes (1996) and woman weightlifter Karnam Malleswari (2000).
