Abhinav Bindra is the current World and Olympic champion in the 10 m Air Rifle event. By winning the gold in the 10 m Air Rifle event at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, he became the first Indian to win an individual gold medal at the Olympic Games and India’s first gold medal since 1980, when the Men’s Field Hockey Team won the gold. He received the Arjuna Award at the young age of 17 and has been the youngest recipient of the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna Awards – the highest sporting honor of India at 18 years. Abhinav has also been decorated with the Padma Bhushan, the third highest civilian honor of India, in 2009.
In reply to a question, Abhinav said, “I often laugh silently when I think back at how it all began…. A long and almost bizarre journey for a chubby fat 12 year old boy who hated all activity and sport!”. The full text of the interview is published here.
