Abhinav Bindra's Road to Beijing

life goes on....

Thursday, August 21, 2008 – 7:19 AM
well life is really returning back to normal and i am now faced with a dilemma as to "what next?"
of course there are lots of options, but i would like to do something with purpose and something that i am passionate about....
i never realized how long 24 hours actually were and now i am trying to fill time although i am still tired and still need some rest things really coming back to normal. My interviews are now trickling (which i am happy about) and i now get to sit back and watch the nation's other two stars in action :)
So something i have been talking about for some time now is how i would like to give back to not only shooting but also to the whole Indian sport movement. I would like to offer my help to all who seek it and also like to be available to other shooters so that i can share my experiences with them. 
I am working now on a structure which i can be directly involved with the development of other shooters and actually try and groom people for the future. i will write more details on that when i have finalized the plan and things are a bit more concrete.
i will use another post to comment on all the people who have left me some very insightful remarks but for the usual comment about how India underperforms... it is very simple...we don't have any sport structure whatsoever... so the fact that we are even winning a couple of medals is phenomenal... it is time we all join hands and try and change this acceptance of mediocrity... i think we should all be positive and actually offer solutions since it is pretty obvious we all know the problems.

Hi Abhinav
I was actually waiting for all the euphoria to die.Im happy you are feeling pretty relaxed now.I thought mentally you were very strong and with your skill, a gold medal was due..Please dont change and always remember that the personality of yours before the olympics, won you the medal and not the personality after the olympics....Get a gold again in London 2012..train hard..All the best...annnamalai.kuppusamy@gmail.com

srilu said...

huh...finally i succeeded in scrapping u in the top 10:)

srilu said...

ya...the effort put in by the 2 players who won the medals yesterday was phenomenal;More importance n encouragement is needed for all other sports apart 4m cricket in our country.And i even feel more women should also take part in olympics...i guess this time the number is quite less.

Indian said...

Abhinav, Whatever decision you take let it be in the interest of the bigger picture..India. Please do not restrict yourself to Sports but try to inculcate values into our contemporary soceity by fighting corruption,nepotism, red tapism, etc.

srilu said...

And one more...am quite impressed by ur academic backgrnd;I really admire ppl who are academically strong:)so....don u have plans of continuing wid ur business?

Megha said...

Hey Abhinav,

Its good to hear that you've been thinking and planning about helping out other shooters. And you are right- without having a proper structure in place India cannot hope to improve much. It will just be flashes of individual brilliance. India's best bet will be to get corporates involved in sports (similar to Mittal trust).

I am sure with shooting and your business, you will find an answer to 'what next' pretty soon. Meanwhile just sit back and savour these moments. :)

Cheers,
Megha

Well its nice to see ur post.
Now i have become a regular reader of ur posts and wait for the next one.
Yesterday i watched ur small interview with star news where u said that u wanted the attention to now shift to sushil n vijender who deserve it very well.

Even i feel like that despite the lack of sports facilities, we can win 3 medals, so what wud it be lik if there were a good sports structure in the country.We r a nation of 110 crore people. Definately we can achieve much more.

Well i dont hv much to say about the post.We all understand what u hv written.Just that its good to read what u write.And i want u to keep on writing on this blog.And atleast write once daily.

Pushan said...

gr8 to c u back to blogging in full roll.... the nation waits with bated breath for 12:46 pm 2moro when Vijender takes on the cuban boxer... its brilliant to note that cricket which has hogged the limelight on news channels with hundreds of experts commenting in all possible languages weeks b4 the series begins, is nowhere to be seen... m not trying to belittle the sport, i too have been an avid follower of the game but when a country starts performing in other fields the focus just shifts... it goes to show that Indians arent just mad abt cricket... its the only sport in which India has performed reasonably well... now that other sports are raising Indian hopes cricket finds itself confined to the corners of newpapers.

Now as far as the solution goes, people like Abhinav and others ( coaches n sportspersons) can possibly draft a structure which they have seen elsewhere or something that they feel would have helped them when they were training. As citizens of India we should extend full support both in terms of encouragement as well as money... people who are buyin planes for their wives worth 300 crores n people like u n me shud just not sit n clap when India wins and curse when they loose but rather contribute to the sport in any small or big way that we can.

life is wonderful said...

Hi,ABHINAV
It is very rare that one can see history unfold.The excitement your medal has brought (to me at personal level )to the nation cannot be expressed in words,your name and achievement would be writen in our collective memory forever .

Estella said...

Hi..
I read an interview of yours in Calcutta's most significant daily, The Telegraph. I agree with what you say about cricket as a sport being able to stand alone on its feet. It's the other sports that need attention. Our pugilists and wrestlers have made us proud in the last two days. Our athletes, shooters, archers always show promise.
But a significant point is how to get the majority of the country..by which I mean non sports people to take a keen interest in WATCHING these sports,since the more people watch, the more the ads, and therefore the more sponsors.
I'm glad you want to do something for Olympic sport in India as a whole. We do too. You have our support all the way. Thanks and best of luck.

Hmmmmm,,u shouldn't really be the one in dilemma for "what next"..There is a lot of hard work, dedication, perseverance needed to achieve what you already have..BUT..there is even more dedication and commitment required to repeat it AGAIN after 4 yrs. I think you should aim for the REPEAT in London, what an incredible feat it would be for India.. :-) Al da very best.. :-)

Loks said...

Good to know that you have found your calling and are working towards a structured approach to guide other shooters to get more olympic laurels. You have been there and now can coach others. China's amazing haul of 45 golds ( till now) is something which came about with structured system and perseverance rather than luck. Having lived and worked in china can assure that long term committment and training is the only way to succeed.

Unknown said...

Hi
Well now I guess the Question of "what next" will continue to haunt you for a few days,as now you have achieved your goal of winning an Olympic Gold. As you have said in some of your interviews that there is a sort of emptiness,when this emptiness sets in then you are always faced with the BIG Question of "What Next".
Well we would definitely like to see you winning more medals in London 2012 and with 50m air rifle as your event too.
Its good to hear that you've been thinking and planning about helping out other shooters. Looking forward to hear about your plan.
Please don't ever change that 'down to earth' nature of yours,this nature of yours will take you to new heights in your career.
I hope Vijender wins gold too,really excited for that!!
Ok then now waiting for your next post on the blog
Thanks

Hi Abhinav,
Congrats..way to go....your wisdom is beyond your age. Anyhow that is good for Indian Olympic movement. I already see that you talk about Indian Olympic movement in your interviews. That is the right way to do and i really appreciate your patriotism. Looking eagerly for your statement on blog.

Yep the youth and internet can create a movement and let us take Olympic in our hands. Also feel bad about just complaining about government...yes the government can do better but instead of complaining let us think what can we do and if we do a good job and work hard towards that goal surely the government and all the people will be behind your movement.

But at least you have an opportunity to start it. Slow and steady wins the race. Anyhow we need to have a start and i feel that you can provide the great start. And lot of fellow blogger s have great suggestion and when we synergies all brains together you can create the best possible movement. ALWAYS THERE TO SUPPORT YOU FROM USA. Take your own time and make the best decision for you and our Country. Lot of immigrants will be able to support this movement financially and i am happy to see other fellow countrymen eager to send money for helping sportsperson. I can be one among them.

Abhinav said...

Hey Abhinav,

First of all Good work dude.U have done a commendable job!! Good on ya!!May be u don;t know me, But i know you..I met Amit sir when i was in India last year..I heard alot about you from him.He is a great personality though.Anyway he is your Dronnacharya isn;t it??I must say one thing that there are so many people who are lookin forward to see you hitting more victories under the Indian flag..So Best of luck dude..Keep going!!

lloyd said...

What strikes me the most is that you want to help other sports persons, that itself is a huge gesture. I havent heard of any cricketers do that for sportsmen other than cricketers.
I saw a report on TV that showed the boxing facilities at SAI when they profiled vijander and it was shocking to see. Hat off to you sir ! (Lloyd M) lloydom@gmail.com

Thanks to the winning feats of Sushil,Vijender and of course you, the country's focus has totally shifted from cricket to Olympic sports.Its feels great to see a cricket crazy nation suddenly change its track.
I'm glad to see that you want to do something for Olympic sport in India as a whole,thats a great idea and we all support you. The time has come to make India - a Great Sporting Nation.

Good Luck

Smruti said...

hi abhinav
This question of 'what next' is very important
as it can change ur life.....
as u have mentioned u would like to do something that ur
passionate about, then obvious it would be related to shooting...
But then it might happen that ur parents may be planning
something different (like I had read this in our local
newspaper at Nagpur that ur parents want
u to join ur family business)
so in that case u have to decide 'what to do'
but as there is a solution to every question
n i think u'll take the right decision.....
n yes it feels great that u r ready to help
those how are in this sport of shooting....
Go on with ur best.....

Regards
Smruti

padma said...

hi abhinav., this is my first comment in your blog.. me and my family are proud of your achievements.. esp..the one at beijing. whats more soothing for me is that you ve got a parent like your father, who spotted the talent in you and nurtured it. reminds me of my responsibility as a parent too.. hats off to your dad!

Unknown said...

That's greatly enthusing Abhi! Needless to say that this will excite hundreds of your fans as well as other Olympic aspirants in India and probably even the media will get a whiff of this sooner or later, but I hope this doesn't take anything off from your "own" preparations for the commonwealth or for the London olympics ,which I do understand have some time to go.That said,if this comes off the ground ,then I am sure you'd have enough cooperation from various sections to get it soaring because this is a project that appeals to millions of patriotic hearts across the length and breadth of the country, probably even in the villages now.By the way,I am also sure that you are already working on your next set of goals,even if silently,but are there 9 shooting events in the London Olympics ?:-)

swapnaja said...

abhinav
i never thought that a thought like "what next " would arise !! with you being an enterpreneur . but still . it's good that you want to help people associated with sports since there are some who genuinely need it . it's good you have some time to yourself . but trust me when i say 24 hours are not enough . wait for a few days and you would yourself wish that the days were longer than usual .now that you have the time would you mind replying on my e-mail id ...... swapnaja169@yahoo.in , hoping that your efforts to salvage the Indian sports will bring good results .......
have fun .... enjoy

latha vidyaranya said...

what next??? why is this question as if you have achieved all that was to be achieved in life! oh, no, like how phelp broke so many records and created new ones, you should now be training harder to create further records in many sports events organized the world over. please do not become too complacent. it makes you lose focus. yes, relax for a while, enjoy the company of your family members and your pets and home cooked food etc. but let your fingers always crave to be trigger-happy! your thoughts on helping improve sports facilities in india and helping the budding talents to come up are very noble. with the award money pouring in, you may even institute a sports scholarship for a needy sports person who does well in his field.

god bless you.

me said...

very true Abhinav, its time we all make a concerted effort to develop sports in our country.
In this regard, we need to understand the models that other countries like Australia follow and work towards developing our own.

harapriya said...

THANKYOU Abhinav, thanks for every thing that you have given to us and what help you are thinking to give us. Every sports person would be thinking this right from their heart. If you train the shooters or help them in any way, I am sure many more medals are waiting to come in our way
But Abhinav as you know the two basic problems that come our way is lack of training and financial crisis. Players are not sponsored at the grass root level and so they deviate from their way and choose other occupation
Once again I would say thanks, I am saying thanks so many times because it really comes from my heart .I was a basket ball player but couldn’t pursue it as a career because I was unsecured about my future and now I am a final year student of graduation in chemistry, I have lost my passion, I have lost my basketball. Their are many like me ,and who would be saying THANKS

Hi,
I don't know much about shooting.. But i see that u qualified just for one olympic event 10m rifle. Wer u concentrating just on that? Or did u try out other events as well but cudn't qualify? If the latter was the case, then the obvious answer to your "what next??" is to achieve in the other shooting events as well in London 2012.We are greedy for more man.. And u r the one in billion right now.. So u've to do it for us.. :)

hi, your blog was featured in the 'blogs of note' in blogger. thats how i ended up reading all your posts. i got tired reading the comments on just one post, i dunno if you will even see this. loved your post on first day at home.
Just wanted to congratulate and thank you for the history you have put in for our country.
hope you keep doing your best.

RC said...

Dear Abhinav,

Thank You for having put up this blog. Its really a special feeling that we get by directly communicating with you. The gold medal that India has won is a tribute to your hardwork and to the efforts invested in by your parents. My heartfelt thanks to them too. It was nice to see you on top of the podium with a graceful smile;calm,composed and dignified. I believe that you can inspire a lot of us with your words. I hope and pray that all your efforts be crowned with success.

Regards
Rahul Chandran

Natasha said...

Two things I find incredible about you the person -
You are an utterly down-to-earth normal person, the kind I wish my sons grow up to become. The press tries to paint you as this arrogant rich brat, but you are just a slightly reserved guy who does his job and does it exceedingly well. And that has not changed even after you have won the gold. Wish there were more people like you around

The other thing is the way you have, from the day you won the gold itself, been talking about the people who do not win. After all that hard work and the sacrifices, nobody wants not to win. But we as a nation tend to just dust off the also rans. Thank you for reminding us that they deserve as much, if not more, encouragement than does a person who gets visible results.

I hope you continue blogging even after you feel you do not have too much to say. It is refreshing to read someone who has his head firmly on his shoulders and has such a understated sense of humour (I loved how you described trying to impress your canine friends when you got back home).

Prabhakar said...

Hey Abhinav, Good to hear that you are thinking of Indian future in Sports. Do let us know if we can be of any help to make our country get more gold medals in next Olympics.

karma kocktail said...

hi abhinav,
congratulation........!!!!!!!!!!on yr glowrious win at the olympics.
though we are just the admirer,it is yr hardwork that brought laurels for the country and yr parents.
All i can say is best of luck for yr future...

Abhishek said...

Hey Abhinav
Congrats!
Do you know why India has to manage with a manage with little number of medals in Olympics.This is because the arena of Athletics is least fancied.Please try to establish shooting as a common sporting event so that many potential shooters who dont find any platform could be traced and trained.
You are the youth icon of today's India .If only you could fantasize these athletic events, I hope many shootersand other athletes will get ample sponsors.

Hope you agree with me

Congratulations Once again
Abhishek

Unknown said...

hi abhinav...
i m not much of a blogger but i have been continuously keeping track of ur blog...
its very refreshing to see sm1 who has grown to an iconic stature in India's sporting history wanting to give back to not his but the entire sports fraternity in India...
u r abs ryt when u say that there is no Sports Structure in India..
so it is commendable that all the 3 medal winners for India in Beijing are from small-towns... Chandigarh is not exactly a small town (I myself hail from Chd) but in terms of sporting infrastructure it is... Just think what the streamlined sporting structure would do... i think India needs to emulate the Chinese model... I hope u would agree with me... China has outnumbered and outshined everyone in their home games.. i hope India would be able to do so when the Games come to India... Hope it wud be soon... :)
hope to hear from u... :)

Hello,
Its new ray of hope that you are going to help new shooters and also other sports.
Our sportmen are lagging behind just because of lack of infrastructure and aminities...
people are not looking to other sport except cricket, How to change there mentality?
Its actualy required that corporate sector should come forword, govt will do somethig concrete is a sweet misunderstanding...
I hope your this suggestion will make positive diffrence in our sportworld...

Kaushal Jhalla said...

Abhinav - I agree with you that the Indian Athletics platform has no structure and something needs to be done. However ...

Here is an idea. I am involved in a very power idea called BarCamp. The idea is that structure arises from the community and is defined as per the communities needs at the time (primarily focused on software workshops and conferences)

I wonder if this same approach could be applied to sports in India. Communities getting together to hold sporting meets and challenge each other at a variety of sports.

Your win gives us an unusual energy to propel such a movement. All that is needed is a basic rules for each sport are and how to promote such an idea. I think given your recent Beijing performance you have the unique opportunity to kickstart such a movement.

I would love to hear your thoughts on this.

anjooran said...

It's not an easy task at all and needs a lot of attention. But it's possible. you've already ignited innumerous minds. Check the number of blogs created in august 2008 to congratulate you as an easy example.
Go ahead with your plans. My mind body and soul will follow along with our great nation and all similar minded souls.

hello abhinav, heartiest congratulations to you. life goes on...yeah... it makes me very happy to see that you don't want all this adulation to affect you..., that you're not one of those people who let fame get to their heads. i've just began to blog n one of the initial topics i've blogged about is you n your achievement. do visit missmeowspeaks.blogspot.com if u can. i deeply appreciate every effort of you n your parents in bringing our country this glory. my best wishes to you!

Please work more harder and try to give your best in next Olympics too :) all the best God bless You :)

Author Devika said...

Hi Abhinav,
Its true that your gold medal has given rise to a lot of expectations from the other athletes too. I am happy that the boxing contingent has performed so well and Sushil Kumar got a medal in wrestling which was a huge surprise. I think this is where we have made a mistake by prioritising sports. Its sad though that Hockey ( our national sport) has been not given its importance and Cricket has become our "Adopted national Sport". I think now the mindset of the people should change and parents should encourage their children to take up sports besides cricket too.

I would like if u visit my blog : http://thedebater-devika.blogspot.com

Hi Abhinav,
Firsrt of all congrat for winning the Gold medal for yourself and India and that too in a sport which maybe more than half of our nation's population is not aware that it is also a part of Olympics. And whatever you mentioned in your blog about the situation of games of in our Country, I do agree with you. And I pin my hopes on forerunners like you and we the general public to be LEAD INDIA or a MUNNABHAI. For sure our nation needs things like this to be reality rather than just talk shows / ad campaigns or movies.
And I look forward for another Gold from you in next Olympics.
Congratulations from the core of my heart, YOU MADE OUR NATION PROUD!

Hi Abhinav

Firstly - hearty congratulations. U have made us - the whole India Proud.

Nice to hear this from you.

My view is its good that the Government and many associations are rewarding the winners with cash prize and much more. But a thought here is - they can also - plant a seed for many more of these achievements and winners by setting apart some fund for development of these much ignored sports.

I m sure - all tax payers wont mind contributing Rs 100 each for sports welfare and development. Y not give money that way.... Now with u being in the stardom - i m sure - ur views will be heard. any thoughts?

Hi,
I have something to add on to the last bit of your post on people commenting on India's underperformance...
Last night, I was at a local dhaba, a favourite eating place with the students, where two young men ( read: educated, well-off and from good background) were discussing how lucky Vijendra Kumar would be to get a chance to go for a date with Bipasha Basu.
Now, one they had no idea about the achievements of this young lad who has reached so far... Second, they were under the assumption that Vijendra had won, which means that they were not even following the game...Three, on their minds was just Bipasha.
Now, I don't have anything against Bipasha or Bollywood per se, ( in fact I recently watched Bachna Ae Haseeno..and think Bipasha did a good job)My only problem is the disinterest people, especially us, youngsters express in these areas.
We, of course, can't expect the entire youth brigade to enjoy sports or say boxing in specific. What in turn we can expect is that if they can't appreciate someone's effort , they can atleast keep mum on it...
Though, I understand that it's going to take a lot of time for our mindset to change, I wish this is the beginning...

hi Abhinav ,my heartiest congratulations to u for winning Olympic gold,i first read about you in 1998 in Teens Today and i have known that like Narayan Kartikeyan and some other great sports person we always had you,but as life makes us busy i got busy too and when on the auspicious day i saw you live on DD Sports during the morning at around 9:45am with my mother and brother hitting the bull's eye,we were so much happy .thanks a lot for giving all us Indians the proud moment.we were breathless when u were taking your last 10th shot and when you scored 10.8 we danced,clapped,laughed ,smiled ,sang and thanked god.I have collected all your interviews from Times of India and i really like one thing aboue which makes you my hero,tha's ur control over your mind.
conratulations!!
