Abhinav Bindra

India’s Bindra wins gold in Olympics - the Men’s 10m Air Rifle for India.

(BEIJING, August 11) — India’s Abhinav Bindra won the gold medal in the Men’s 10m Air Rifle in Beijing on August 11 with an incredible performance in the final. Bindra shot a total score of 700.5.

China’s Zhu Qinan, gold medalist at Athens 2004, won the silver medal with a total score of 699.7.

The bronze medal was won by Finland’s Henri Hakkinen, who was leading the field after the qualification round, but was unable to hold off Bindra and Zhu in the final. The Finnish shooter shot a total of 699.4.

Hakkinen shot 598 in the qualification round, giving him a one point lead over Zhu. Bindra was one point further back with 596.

Bindra

Bindra signals his intentions early in the final, with a 10.7 on his first shot. None of Bindra’s shots in the final dropped below 10.0.

Hakkinen’s performance in the final was solid, but it needed to be better. He averaged 10.14 per shot in the final, compared to Bindra’s 10.45.

Going into the last shot, Bindra and Hakkinen were tied for first place, but Bindra secured the gold medal with his best shot of the final, an outstanding 10.8.

Conversely, Hakkinen’s last shot was his worst, a lowly 9.7. This allowed Zhu to overcome Hakkinen and win the silver medal. Zhu shot 10.5 on his last shot.

Zhu will be disappointed that did not become the first shooter to win two gold medals in the Men’s 10m Air Pistol. However, he was unable to reproduce his best – Zhu holds the Olympic record for the final score in the event, the 702.7 that he shot at Athens 2004.

Bindra, a Khel Ratna awardee, finished the qualifying event joint fourth with Romania’s George Alin Moldoveanu after the duo shot a score of 596/600.

Earlier, Bindra ended the poor run of Indian shooters at the Beijing Olympics by qualifying for the men’s 10m air rifle event finals. Bindra, a Khel Ratna awardee, finished the qualifying event joint fourth with Romania’s George Alin Moldoveanu after the duo shot a score of 596/600.

The bespectacled shooter managed a series of 100,99,100,98,100 and 99.

However, 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 97,100,100,100,98,100.

Abhinav Bindra:

“I have worked hard for this. It was my day. I have always believed that I could do this and am happy to have done it. I have been in the sport for ten years, and I know that the difference between winning and losing is not much. I didn’t do anything very different today.”

said Abhinav, who has been battling with a career-threatening back problem in recent months.

    in the news: Bindra wins gold in olympics

    India’s Abhinav Bindra won a gold in men’s 10-metre Air Rifle event in Beijing. Bindra shot 104.5 to take his total to 700.5 in the final. This is India’s first ever Olympic gold in any individual event and ninth in total.

    In ten rounds, Bindra 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.

    Bindra had shot a total of 596 out of 600, shooting a perfect 100 in 3 of the 6 rounds of the qualifiers. Bindra finished 4th to qualify 2 points behind Henri Hakkinen of Finland.

    Gagan Narang, meanwhile, was very unlucky missing out by just 1 point on a countback after he was tied with 4 others after 6 rounds with an average score of 9.917 in the qualifiers. In a countback, since all five shooters, who were tied, had shot a perfect 100 in the last round, the 5th round scores were taken into account, where Narang had managed a 98, whereas the others had shot either a 99 or a 100.

    If Narang had shot a 99 instead of a 98, 4th round scores would have been taken into account and Narang would have gone through.

    About Abhinav Bindra:

    Abhinav Bindra (born September 28, 1982) is an Indian shooting sports person and CEO of Abhinav Futuristics, a PC games peripherals distributor based in Chandigarh. As a shooter, he specialises in the field of Air rifle. In August 2008, he became the first Indian to win an individual gold medal at the Olympic Games and first gold medal since 1980 for India.[1][2]

    Abhinav Bindra was the youngest Indian participant at the 2000 Olympic Games. He won six gold medals at various international meets in 2001. In the Air rifle event at the 2002 Commonwealth Games, Manchester, he won Gold in the Pairs event and Silver in the individual event. At the 2004 Olympic Games, he broke the Olympic record but failed to win a medal. He is a recipient of the Arjuna award in 2001 and the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna award for the year 2001-2002. Abhinav Bindra’s potential talent was first spotted by Lt. Col. J.S. Dhillon. He was Bindra’s first coach. Apart from being a shooter, Abhinav Bindra holds an M.B.A. (Masters in Business Administration). He is also the CEO of Abhinav Futuristics.

    At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Abhinav Bindra won the gold for the Men’s 10m Air Rifle final after shooting a total of 700.5, thus becoming the first Indian individual gold medallist ever at the Olympics. He scored 596 (fourth) in the qualifying round and out-scored all other shooters in the finals with a round of 104.5.

    This was India’s first individual gold medal at the Olympics, and the first gold in 28 years, since the Men’s Hockey team won the gold at the 1980 Moscow Olympics.

    Oui, je parlais de Calimerotte, mais par contre, quand je parlais du staff, je ne parlais pas de celui du fdf, mais de celui d’HOL (et en passant, HOL n’existe plus, ceux qui geraient l’asso et le serveur ont disparu dans la brume et les domaines ont expire, ce qui fait que nous les 8 qui etions encore actifs dans le staff (moi, Blackhawk, mamboule, Tristou, Elfix, FandeCRF, vincetreize et trioxx/overtux), sommes tous sur le pave depuis debut fevrier). Cali n’etait pas dans le staff du FDF pendant que j’etais encore la-bas, mais a joint le staff FDF bien apres la grosse vague de departs, et son entree coincidait etrangement avec le fait qu’elle avait cesse de se connecter sur hol.
