India’s First Individual Gold Medal in the Olympics!

Abhinav Bindra, that's a name that created history today at the Beijing Olympics. He becomes India's first sports person to win an individual Gold medal at the Olympics, EVER! What an achievement!!

Abhinav claimed the Gold medal in the Men's 10m Air Rifle. Bindra shot a total score of 700.5. He did it in style too, soaking up all the pressure and delivering when it mattered most. Going into the last shot, Bindra and Hakkinen (bronze medal winner) were tied for first place, but Bindra secured the gold medal with his best shot of the final, an outstanding 10.8. Way to go, Abhinav!

Here is a photo of the hero! Read more details here.
