Olympics- Abhinav Bindra Shoots down first gold

Abhinav Bindra won India’s first ever individual Olympic gold medal on Monday in the men’s 10 meters air rifle event

India’s last Olympic gold medal was from hockey (8th gold) at the 1980 Moscow Olympics

Bindra’s effort betters the silver medal effort of double trap shooter Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore at the Athens Games in 2004.

Previously Bindra won the 2006 World championships and finished seventh in Athens four years ago.
