Abhinav Bindra:Beijing and Beyond: we are now welcomed....officially!!!!!!!

we are now welcomed....officially!!!!!!!

Thursday, August 7, 2008 – 7:10 PM

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.....

Yuga said...: Hey Abhinav,

I was rushing to work and the DD sports channel was airing the rifle event. I could see ur rank go up higher and higher, and finally just sat down to see you shoot the final shot. I am sure I was just one among the millions of people who waited and prayed when u took that shot. I dont understand shooting much, but saw that it had hit THE centre and my heart just stopped. India has won a Gold medal! What an amazing feeling!

You have made us all so proud to be Indians, Abhinav!

Thanks for all your efforts and all the very best for the future.

You have shown you have nerve of steel, being tied on the 9th round in the final round, you had kept yourself focussed and shot 10.8, it was outstanding.

You have made us proud.; August 11, 2008 at 1:23 AM
Abhishek Tupe said...: Abhinav, All these messages say it all..... its a terrific achievement... Although it might be quite usual to win some and lose some.... but to win at the games where the whole world is watching you and to handle that tremendous amount of pressure and delivering it correctly.... I would just say you have done what no other individual from India or rather representing India would do at the games for the past 112 years....We all wish you much more success ahead...but whatever happens this day will belong to you.

Nikhil Sharma said...: Hey Abhinav,

Congratulations. The entire nation is very proud of you. I am sure the feeling of being an Olympic champion and being the cynosure of the entire nation now will take some time to sink in.

Not only is your feat great but in the manner you did it is even better. After the 8 and 9th shot when the finnish shooter drew the scores I was very very scared and praying hard.

We Indians are always accused of choking in the end. 10.8 to win the Gold was a fitting reply. In sports while winning is important, the way you win is also equally important.

Way to go Abhinav, I am waiting for RVR magic too.
