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.....

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.
Yugandhara
Man, what have you done! Right now I am feeling more patriotic than I felt collecting flags from dustbins after 26th Jan. I will be collecting those flags again soon on this 15th, and sure will salute you for what you have done.
Your achievement will surely make people come out of their chair and stop thinking and DO something. Vande Matram

CONGRATULATIONS ..AHINAV
MALAYALAM BLOGGERS CONGRATULATE YOU FOR THE ACHIEVMENT.
Hey Abhinav,
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.
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.
One of Indian sports fans
Many congratulations, Abhinav!
Your records may be taken away some day in the faraway future, but nothing can change your being India's first individual gold medalist!!
Wish you many more successes!
Cheers,
Shantaram
Congratulations Abhinav!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for giving us this moment!
Congrats Abhinav , You have made India proud.
I have been following olympics since 1996, when my age was 8..!!Always kept wondering and complaining about when would the TRICOLOR be there on the podium.After Paes-Bhupati,Malleswari and Rajvardhan...I kept dreaming when would that TRICOLOR be higher than the other two...
You've made a dream come true...may be a silly one to accomplish after your gold-medal victory...But Thank YOu..!!
Congratulations..!!
Congrats for winning dude
Hats off Abhinav Bindra! The Mother India is proud of you...Hearty congratulation to you and everyone behind this success!!!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Heartiest congratulations! Nice to know your last year of fighting off your spine injury has paid off well ... Love your fighting spirit. You are on your way to being a Legend - get used to it :-)
Abhinav,
Hearty congratulations! Indeed an unbelievable job done. Today you made more than a billion people proud. Khusi ke aanshu aa gaye yaar.
Well done :)
Congratulations. we are proud of you.
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.
Nikhil
let me give my congratulation to you for your great success
CONGRATULATIONS Abhinav
Congratulations Abhinav...!!Our country is proud of u..
