Got Gold!

So finally after long wait of years since inception of Olympics, India got a gold medal in individual event as Abhinav Bindra topped the tally of 10 meter air rifle competition. Frankly, I was expecting a lot from this guy but after seeing the performances of the 'key' shooters I was about to lose hope from Indian shooting squad, but finally the hard work paid and he did it!

First congratulation goes to Abhinav himself and also like to thank his family for spending a good sum on his preparation without any expectation from IOA (Indian Olympic Association) as Mr. Kalmadi has nothing more than average mic skills and political influence.

Abhinav belongs to a millionaire business family, and they have spent about 10 Karor rupees (source: different news papers). It just left me with one question that do deserving athletes need to belong to some multi millionaire family in order to get world class training?... anyways, once again thanks to Abhinav for brining pride to home country and congratulations on your success.
