Congrts Bindra for a wonderful performance....and rightly said by you -
(from the bbc website) Asked how his life would change after the gold medal, Bindra says: "For me life will go on. I sincerely hope that it changes how Olympic sports is viewed in India.Right now Olympic sports don't seem to be priority and I hope that changes"
we spend all our money on cricket and produce a team that cannot even beat sri lanka.....till others sports are given importance we will always be a 1 billion country with a 1 medal winner.....
(Also from bbc website) Abhinav had every facility at his beck and call - his family in the northern state of Punjab has spent millions of rupees to fuel his dream of an Olympic medal.His affluent family - he himself runs one of the businesses, Abhinav Futuristics, named after him - backed him to the extent that he had a private shooting range at home. His father spared no effort to ensure the best of everything from equipment to coaches to training stints and tournaments for exposure".
imagine if like most atheletes in india he was dependant on aid from the government????
