17 Years Ago, A Medal Was Placed Around My Neck: Abhinav Bindra Reminisces About 2008 Beijing Olympic Glory
In a gripping finale of the men's 10m air rifle finals at the Beijing Games, Bindra was tied with Finland's Henri Hakkinen at the top of the standings with one shot remaining. Bindra held his nerve, scoring 10.8 with his last attempt - his highest score of the finals - to see off the challenge of Hakkinen and secure victory.
On the 17th anniversary of his trailblazing victory at the Summer Games, Bindra took to X to share his emotion. "17 years ago, a medal was placed around my neck, but it truly belonged to a nation. It was built on the love of my parents, the wisdom of my coaches, and the belief of countless people who stood beside me."
