So yesterday was the welcoming ceremony where they officially raise the flag in front of your building and play the national anthem... it is really an emotional moment especially for us athletes who have early events and never attend the opening ceremony.
so for us in some way this was the small and intimate "cutting of the ribbon" and makes you feel proud that you are representing an entity so much larger than self.
Today is my day off and so i am going to spend some time soaking in the village and actually getting my mind to do something it has never done before.... NOT THINK ABOUT SHOOTING!!!
So instead of thinking about shooting perfect bulls eyes... today i am going to think of the pretty women in the village, the weather, the great city of beijing and whatever else pops into my mind will be allowed to stay as long it doesn't involve the words "rifle", "shooting" in it.... hey all it is a great time to be an athlete and this event is what we all live for.....

I have shown many Indians including me your true strength. I really have no idea about how you managed it but I still feel the immense hard work you must have done has paid off & at the right moment.
Good luck for your future as well..You have become a hero.
Wishing you many more Golds in the years to come!

Susheel Kamble
I am proud of you. I had dreamt when I was a child that I would do something for the country, but circumstances got me carried away. But hats off to your determination. What I am impressed and I think is THE most important fator in your winning is - that you thought about shooting/rifle every MOMENT of your life. This is what is lacking in the Indian youth. If they dedicate their lives to any one particular sport, I am SURE - 100 PERCENT that they can win. Thanks a million for giving us a direction. A fan of yours eternally.
Historic gold medal win in Beijing
india just won their first individual gold ever. the dude is being showered with gifts and cash rewards.
He did win the gold on the same day the Indian Cricket team lost a series to Sri Lanka. Talk about timing!!!!

Hi Abhinav
A sincere piece of advice. Take this "golden" opportunity and take the lead in trying to change the face of sports in this country. People are going to be hanging onto your words and really listening to you. If you can grab this chance , no telling what changes it can unleash. Please think about it.
Great job . Good luck and god bless.
CONGRATULATIONS ABHINAV...!!!..ALL THE iNDIANS WORLDWIDE ARE PROUD OF U..IT'S REALLY A GREAT ACHIEVEMENT...MAY GOD BLESS U ...BEST WISHES FOR UR FUTURE...:)

Well done Abhinav !!! we are proud of you ..God bless
Congratulations Bindra. Whole country is proud of you. keep it up.
Hey Abhinav - Congratulations!!! You made each Indian around the globe very proud. I don't think this is possible on any other occassion. All of us are celebrating your victory. BTW, we are from U.S.A and trying to catch a glimpse of you on TV whenever possible.
Congrats, Abhinav!
Here, in California, it was late at night. We were trolling the NBC website, and lo behold, there was a young Indian player holding a rifle,rock steady, and in second place! We stopped watching everything else, and sent prayers, like floating petals, your way! You made us all so proud, we had tears in our eyes, hearing the anthem, and watching the flag go up. Thank you
for your years of hardwork and sacrifices - you have truly become more than a name for millions of people!
great job!!! u make us proud
Abhinav, congratulations! Although I am a Chinese, I feel also happy for you. You are a hero of your country, and you are a hero of Asia as well! I guess that all Indians will be proud of you. The day you did really a good job, and hope you'll get more golds in your future career. And also I wish that the India team will have more golds in the 29th Olympic Games.
Dear Abhinav,
I was watching the medals ceremony live with my wife and we had an indescribable feeling. We kissed each other, sang the national anthem as it was being played and saluted you in the end! Congratulations and thanks for giving us this joy!
Your parents, coach, family and friends all deserve to bask in glory. I read about your single-minded determination over a decade which eventually led to the Gold. Was really amazed by your unflappable temperament, even after winning.
However, deep in my heart, I feel, now that you achieved what you set out to... you may want to let yourself free. Enjoy the vast diversities of life, make more closer friends, hang out... soak in what you may have avoided all these years. That would only make you an all-round person... as no achievement, even an Olympic gold is the ultimate in life. You know that!
Best wishes for a great multi-faceted future!
- Sachin Chavan
God bless you son. Lucky are you to have such caring parents, to whom you have given the ultimate in respect and love, an Olympic Gold.
Hi,Abhinav!! Heartiest congratulations !! I too feel that all Indians should do there bit of.... for the olympics i.e. motivate the athletes & support them during there practice days too!
Wish You all the very best for your upcoming endeavors!!
Congrats once again! Chak de!!
अभिनव बिंद्रा का अभिनन्दन
देश ओलम्पिक में शामिल तो होता था
११० करोड़ का देश शर्मिंदा वापिस होता था
अरबों खर्च का था सालो साल कोई हिसाब नही
एक भी एकल स्वर्ण था हमारे भाग में नही
हम विश्व नेता होने का दावा करते थे
लेकिन स्वर्ण पाने को तरसते थे
खेल भावना की मिसाल देते थे
अपने कर्म ठोक रो लेते थे
कभी ध्यान कभी मिल्खा कभी अमृत याद करते थे
कर्नेश्वरी और चौहान को आँखों पर रखते थे
पुरुश्कारो को अर्जुन राजीव पुकारते थे
देश के खिलाडियों को भर भर धिक्कारते थे
असली अर्जुन तो अभ्यास कर रहा था
अपने करतब को पैनी धार धार रहा था
सुबह पूरब से नया उजाला आया
देश में खुशीओं से भरा पैगाम लाया
अभिनव तुम देश की शान
भेद दिया ओलम्पिक का निसान
२५ साल के पंजाब के नवजवान
आधुनिक अर्जुन को देश का सलाम
आओ वापिस देश पलक बिछा इन्तजार में है
बिंद्रा के विजय अभियान उत्सव की त्यारी जोरों पे है
तुम्हारी विजय देश का भाग लिखा जाने वाला है
स्वर्ण नही, नवयुवको की प्रेरणा और संकल्प होने वाला है
बिंद्रा परिवार को हार्दिक बधाई
Congratulations dude!
All of us are pleasantly surprised and extremely proud of you...suddenly the entire nation is glued to Olympics...It just cant get better than this...the Indian flag going up with National Anthem playing in the backdrop...The produest moment for all Indians...Thanks, really thanks for it :-)

अभिनव भाई, आपको मेरी तथा देश के सभी आदिवासियों की तरफ से ओलंपिक में भारत को स्वर्ण दिलाने के लिए हार्दिक बधाइयां. आपने सिर्फ स्वर्ण नहीं जीता है बल्कि भारतीय खेलों के उज्जवल भविष्य की नींव रखी है और एक नए युग का सूत्रपात किया है. उम्मीद है कि आपकी यह उपलब्धि न सिर्फ भारत के खिलाड़ियों में स्वाभिमान जगायेगी बल्कि यह उन्हें उनकी आतंरिक क्षमता को पहचानने में भी सहायक सिद्ध होगी.
-शिशिर उइके एवं समस्त आदिवासी परिवार, जबलपुर,मध्यप्रदेश.

Hi sir,
hearty congrats....
congrats bindra
Dear Abhinav,
Congratulations.
We should not wait another 61 years to win another gold at the Olympics. You should take up the responsibility of training youngsters so that we haul gold at every olympics. We are willing to contribute to this golden cause in every possible way, provided you organize the necessary platform. A rupee by each of us will make a billion, which should be sufficient to begin with. Please take this earnestly. Thanks.
Abhinav,
I think your voice about the unprofessional sports authority and general lack of value for athletes will go a long way. Let's not miss this opportunity. You can get a lot of traction with your words - so please be aggressive and i can assure you that we will have 30-40 athletes returning with medals in a decade.
Cheers,
Puneet Singh
Congrats Abhinav.........
you make us feel proud and bring delight to the whole nation.
Muralidhar.P
Abhinav you are great.
"today i am going to think of the pretty women in the village"... Trust me, now many of the pretty women in India are thinking about you! ;)
Abhinav....you made us feel very
great by winning the gold of dreams. By doing this you have won
the heart and set an ideal before
the youth to make the nation uplift
its head before the others. We can
imagine the hardwork, dedication and sincerity you have putup to stand there. Congrats once again. My sincere request and friendly
advice to u...there is lot of talent and hardwork in our indians. What is needed is a hand to help them, train them and uplift
their dreams. Much rural talent is
getting wasted in the light of politics in sports training and promotions. Why people are getting
crazy only for cricket and not even
interested in other sports? Why many sportspersons after their getting off from limelite are dying
of poverty and starvation? If the
same continues we can not see one more abhinav or we can not even dreams of a medal in olympics. Abhinav...I am working as a commercial taxes officer in governmetn of andhra pradesh. Hats off to you bhayya....sau saal jeo..
may god bless you
you made India proud ...............
Great job !!!!!
Keep it up.....
Abhinav,
You have made every single Indian so proud! It is in itself a great achievement!
You have been given the golden opportunity to hold the torch and lead the Indian athletes to a new level of responsibility and dedication. At the same time, you have the added credibility now to improve the Indian sports system and motivate every single aspiring athlete to bring back glory to our country.
Hi Abhinav,
First of all congrats. You made all of us very proud.It made it far more easy for me to make my 5 year daughter follow the olympics on DD sports by showing her our Gold medalist !
Needed some advise...
My daughter has been told to wear specs by the doctor and she is upset about that. We have cheered her up by tellig her that you also wear specs. Would it be possible to share when and how you got specs. My mail id manishkalra@yahoo.com
Regards
Manish
That one medal for a man......a moment of nation's pride!Abhinav your
achievement has given India the taste of gold medal.I hope all sportsmen are inspired by this.You are our country's asset!Keep up your spirits and GOD BLESS!
