ABHINAV BINDRA WINS GOLD AT BEIJING2008 OLYMPICS ,[object Object],[object Object],This is India’s First Olympic gold in an individual event in 28 years. The last time India won gold was at the 1980 Moscow Olympics for Hockey! The calm and composed 2006 world champion shooter entered the final in fourth place (100,99,100,98,100 and 99) but held his nerves until the end .

[object Object],He finished ahead China’s Zhu Qinan and Finland’s Henri Hakkinen by scoring 104.5 points in the final round and clinching India’s First Individual Gold. Bindra finished with 700.5 points overall. Zhu, the 2004 Gold Medalist from Athens Olympics, had 699.7 points. Hakkinen got the bronze with 699.4 points. I personally feel this gold ranks higher than even our 1983 Cricket World Cup victory.
