"Go for gold" is what's told to every sports person but only a few adhere to it. Not because they dont want but because they couldnt. Abhinav is one of the few who made it true.Wining gold at olympics is a dream come true. Me being a indian is elated at his achievement.
Sad but true this is the first time an Indian has won gold at Olympics. Although we have won many gold in hockey this is the first individual gold medal.
Great news Sushil Kumar wins bronze in wrestling and Vijender also wins bronze in boxing
Norman Pritchard- 2 silvers in 1900 Paris Athletics
Field hockey(team)- gold 1928 Amsterdam , 1932 Los Angeles, 1936 Berlin , 1948 London , 1952 Helsinki , 1956 Melbourne , 1964 Tokyo , 1980 Moscow
silver medal 1960 Rome
bronze medal 1968 Mexico, 1972 Munich
Leander Paes- 1996 Atlanta Tennis Men's singles Bronze
Karnam Malleswari- 2000 Sydney Weightlifting Women's 69 kg Bronze
Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore- 2004 Athens Shooting Men's double trap Silver
For most countries this is equivalent to their tally in one Olympics but sorrowfully this the entire list of medal won by india in the past 108 years. I am sure we will win 108 times this total medal in the next 108 years
Whatever it is I am proud to be an Indian Please comment back your feelings on this historic win.
