We need a committee to sit down and figure out this debacle. Seems like this has happened despite the best of our efforts!

Great moment!
Here's the interview.
India bagged its first ever individual Olympic gold medal in 108 years when Abhinav Bindra won the 10-metre air rifle event in one of the most exciting shooting finals in the history of the world's biggest sporting spectacle.

The historic win for the young pro from Chandigarh came against heavy odds as he entered the event ranked number 17 in the world and pitted against Athens Olympic champion Zhu Qinan of China and Henri Hakkinen of Finland rated much higher than him.

But Bindra proved that reputation and history counted little as he got over a two-point shortfall against Zhu and Haikkinen after the qualifying round and took over the title.

Bindra shot 104.5 to take his total to 700.5 in the final. In ten rounds, he shot 10.7, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5, 10.5, 10.5, 10.6, 10.0, 10.2, 10.8 to clinch the first berth. China's Qinan Zhu won silver while Finland's Henri Hakkinen won bronze.

After his win, the 25-year-old shooter spoke to NDTV.

Excerpts from the interview:

How did he make it possible?

I worked hard, very very hard and I think that paid off. I think I just went for it, it just went my way and that's about it, on another day somebody else would have won it. Today was my day.

What's the feeling now?

I am pretty exhausted now, it's alright I did a good job and I am happy now.

On his motivation level:

That was a motivation, I thought if he can do it, why not me? I think performancewise I did better in Athens, but got the gold only here.

You can never be sure, sports is like a gamble, somebody loses somebody wins, but you work hard for it and I did that.

On his future plans and the future of Indian Sports:

Give me a break, I just won an Olympic gold, please don't ask what I am doing in the future!

The main problem is with such people who ask such questions about Indian sports. You have to believe in your athletes and if you don't win, doesn't matter, you can do it the next time. This is a start and I hope we win many more medals.

The media asked Abhinav what was the 1st thing he thought about after finishing his shooting in the finals.

Abhinav replied - "I wanted to use the toilet"
