"Hearty congratulations to Abhinav Bindra for winning India's first ever individual gold medal at the Olympics. He has done the country proud," BCCI president Sharad Pawar said.
India is currently facing its four-yearly dilemma of watching cricket or switching to the Olympics -- although this time the Beijing extravaganza appears to have gained ground.
A poll conducted by one of the Games sponsors found that almost 70 percent of city-bred Indians will closely follow the action in Beijing despite a clash with India's cricket tour of Sri Lanka.
本周一,印度迎来了本国历史上首枚个人项目奥运金牌,举国民众不敢相信,却为之欢欣鼓舞——同时也为打破板球运动独霸印度的局面带来一线希望。
商人出身、现年25岁的阿比纳夫•宾德拉斩获男子10米气步枪金牌,同时也因此赢得赞扬和巨额现金奖励。这是奥运史上最激动人心的射击决赛之一。
在宾德拉之前,印度曾是八届奥运会曲棍球金牌获得者,但是一直与奥运会个人金牌无缘。
曾获1980年莫斯科奥运会曲棍球冠军的印度曲棍球队队长瓦苏德万•巴斯卡兰说:“这是一枚个人金牌,是一项更伟大的成就。虽然我曾是奥运冠军队的队长,但这枚金牌的意义更加重大。”
印度总统卡帕蒂尔、总理辛格和国大党主席索尼亚•甘地纷纷致电表示祝贺。与此同时,在印度南部昌迪加尔市宾德拉的家里挤满了前来道贺的人。
