Yes, great news! First ever Olympic Gold for an Individual effort by an Indian! Just heard "Jana Gana Mana" being played at Beijing Olympics on TV... Sounded Good!

India Wins Its First Gold

Abhinav Bindra wins gold in the men's 10m air rifle. Now is it just me or has it been a while since India has won anything at the Olympics?

I saw it live on TV as I was just flicking through the channels. Bindra's last shot was just too good, and if he had missed we would have only got a silver.

The last one was in 1980 in an individual capacity. All the best to the rest of the gang for getting some more medals and hope this isn't the last one either.

Cheers,
Aadil.
