India has registered their first GOLD in the Beijing Olympics 2008. Abinav Bindra has made every Indian proud by creating this history. He is the youngest man to represent India in the Olympics. This is also the first ever individual Olympic gold medal for India.
He won the medal in the 10m air rifle shooting and helped India enter the medal table.
In one of the most thrilling shooting finals in Olympic history, Bindra overcame a two-point deficit against Hakkinen and one point against Zhu after the qualification rounds to annexe the title.
The Indian trumped his rivals with the best finish of 104.5 in the 10-shot final as he went into the last shot level with Hakkinen on 689.7 points.
