It was 28 years ago that the India registered a gold medal win in a group event - Hockey, National game of India. In Beijing olympics, Indian Hockey Team didnot even manage to qualify for the olympics.
Abhinav Bindra - Born on September 28, 1983, Bindra is quite often criticized for not delivering on the promise he showed as a child prodigy. Abhinav Bindra is the brightest star among a new breed of talented Indian shooters.
Coming from an affluent family and with the luxury of an indoor range in his backyard, Bindra proved to an early bird and, at 15, was the youngest participant at the 1998 Commonwealth Games. Bindra shot into limelight by winning a bronze in the 2001 Munich World Cup with a new junior world record score of 597/600.
