NEW DELHI: World champion Abhinav Bindra claimed the first ever individual gold for India to win the men's 10m air rifle event at the Beijing Olympics.

Earlier, Bindra ended the poor run of Indian shooters by qualifying for event finals. Bindra finished the qualifying event joint fourth with Romania's George Alin Moldoveanu after the duo shot a score of 596/600. He scored a series of 100,99,100,98,100 and 99 in the qualifiers.

However, India's other medal hope Gagan Narang failed to make the final cut in the same event finishing ninth with a score of 595/600. Narang shot a series of 97, 100, 100, 100, 98 and 100.

These Chinese have truly done a remarkable job in paying attention to the smallest of details. I mean they had the Indian national anthem recorded and ready to go!

Of course I will applaud heartily for this guy and this achievement is fantastic for him and shooting enthusiasts.

But I am in no way proud of my birth country for this. 10m air rifle? As long as India don't have a world class modern pentathlete and enough non-doped viable contenders in 63 kg women's weightlifting, I can't honestly say I am proud of Indian sports.

World champs only under rules where hitting pieces on the arrow directly is allowed without a back-shot. If that is disallowed, Bangladesh beats us. If thumbing is also disallowed, Maldives beats us.
