Abhinav Bindra:Beijing and Beyond: The day after!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The day after!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Monday, August 11, 2008 – 7:42 PM

They have all been telling me what a huge achievement winning Gold is. I realise that but frankly the enormity of the goodwill generated has caught me by surprise. Honestly enough it really has not changed me, I am still the same Abhinav who just a day ago was hanging around alone in my room in the Olympic village. Frankly, all the attention is a bit overwhelming. I am not much good at making loud public pronouncements. That in no way means that this is not the most intense experience of my life.
For more than a decade now my life has been all about my sport. In fact, I do not have a life beyond the confines of the 10m range. I have had a range built in my own home to cut down any possibility of distraction and to be able to practise my sport whenever the fancy strikes me. It all did pay off, didn't it?
It has all still not sunk in. I will post more once the feeling settles.
I ran away from all the media and official attention yesterday after I had done the bit I had do in keeping with my new-found status. Instead I chose to go to a quiet dinner with some friends.
I would like to reiterate that everyone who represents India at the Olympic Games has put in years of toil and sweat. I ask the Indian people to support our athletes more. It is fine to celebrate our achievements but it is just as important to keep up the backing when we are not on top of our game.
It is important for India to do better at Olympic sport as these are the true measure of a nation's sporting depth. I wish more private initiatives come up with corporate support apart from the backing of the government. The joy that the nation feels at my win is humbling. I just wish that this is repeated more and more often.
With our depth of talent and expanse of people I firmly believe India can be a world-class sporting power. What we need are precise systems. I will try to do my bit at grooming the next generation. I would like to appeal to each Indian to also do their bit in prodding us out of sporting complacency.

prashanth mohan said...: Dear Abhinav,

Abhinav means 'new'. So, just like your name, I wish your achievement brings in a new era of hope to Indian sport and instill confidence in young and aspiring athletes. I wish to thank your parents for supporting you to chose an alternate profession.We wish all the athletes of the present contingent a good luck. I sincerely wish that the Government and corporates encourage more promising athletes and help them take sports as a profession. With more than a billion people with immense talent, I am sure if the potential is harnessed properly, we could become the world's sporting super country very soon.

I join my fellow country men in thanking you for your achievement which has made us so proud and wish you many many more successes in the coming days.

It is very rare to find talent and humility in a same person and you have it both in you. Let this unique quality in you remain forever and help you scale greater heights.

God Bless you.

As you rightly said,the support should start before the Gold for a deserving winner as one finds lack of any efforts or encouragement in India,particularly from the corporate,before the D Day.I saw in NDTV how PT Usha is struggling to create new Olympians but pathetically 'no support whatsoever for her efforts!'.Hope you wd try to get more GOlds in the years to come along with a team of deserving pro.May God bless you and your supporters!; August 12, 2008 at 3:01 AM

The very reaction of many people/cos/govt, I feel, raises my fear that they strive to go after sportsmen when they prove their mettel and not when they most need. I felt so and have expressed so in my blog. Don't know if you believe with me or not.
Nonetheless, carry on with the same punch as if you are yet to strike a GOLD!; August 12, 2008 at 3:27 AM

abhinav many congratulations for winning the gold medal,recently while travelling to hyderabad met few young shooters who were going for selection camp for commonwealth youth games, i met a young female shooter studying in class 8 , i was really surprised for her choice of sport at such young age as her family have no shooters,but now after what you achived i pray to god to give the girl strength to perform internationally, nationally
all sports need hard work but shooting requires more infrastructure. wishing you all the best for your future awaiting your heroic welcome in india

Dream In A Cloud said...: When I saw a clip of you watching the tricolour gliding up (flanked by, but higher than the Chinese and Finnish flags), it looked like you were about to weep. You didn't. That, more than anything else, betrayed the emotion that was contained.
When the national anthem tune was played - a frisson down the spine is the best way to describe the feeling - it was a special moment for me, for India.
Thank you, Abhinav, for making it happen. Perhaps now we will finally appreciate and encourage sport and sportspeople more.

If you don't mind I have a small suggestion, where in can you please ask the people(especially CMs of different states) who are gifiting you with cash rewards, to utilize those funds for the development of sports in their respective states, so that we get more Abhinavs in future.; August 12, 2008 at 4:54 AM

Congrats on the great achievement as first Indian to win Olympic Gold in individual event.

You have given a nice gift to India just before Independence day!

11th August will be remembered as one of the most memorable days in Indian sporting history.

We Indians were looking for a Hero to inspire a whole generation to follow sports as a full time rather than to find jobs in railways, air-india etc.

you are our true hero.

But really a matter of concern for the spirit of India & also a thought if a countries with population of 1 lakh can win the medals consistently where we are lacking in having d same consistency in our country.

Anupam Pratihary said...: I'm mighty happy that God chose you for India's first individual gold medal. So deservingly it came to you -- a guy who has the knack of achieving firsts. U got us the first medal (a bronze) at World Cup in 2001 after Dr Karni Singh got a silver way back in 60s. U won the first world championship in 2006. And now, the biggest of them all -- the Olympic Gold. I'm happy to see that ur amazing talent and incredible hard work has finally paid off so beautifully.

I'm also happy for Dr Bindra and your mother, who stood by you unwaveringly when the nation had given up.

Your victory also goes to prove that good guys do win. And can win the biggest of them all. Congrats mate! I'm truly happy for you.

Yours maybe the only medal so far, but it seems that slowly and steadily the Indian athletes are getting closer and closer, be it the boxers who are now into the round of 16, or badminton players, or even swimmers who are qualifying in the heaths.
So, we might not get a basketfull of medals this year, but we are getting there.

It seems U were constantly thinking about the well being of sports in India. Indeed the Gold at Olympic gave U the strength to write such things. We must appreciate it, we Indians are emotional people, so to prove a point rather than rational, emotions makes it easy. In Marathi Abhinav means 'Totally NEW', I hope your Gold will give Abhinav kind of transformation to the attitude about sports, in Indian minds. Let me once again congratulate U for all those super proud moments. We as youth have an Golden IDOL to follow, Thank you very much and pl. be like this only!!!; August 12, 2008 at 7:57 AM

It took so many decades to get a individual gold medal in Olympic and 28 year to get a 2ND gold medal for India. This proves .. we are far behind in sports compare to the rest of the world. It doesn't mean that we dont have potential or power to competite but we restricted our self with only one sport.
