one billion people and one gold medal.

20 crores. Abhinav could be worth 20 crores say the experts! and who are these experts to give this miserable value to Abhinav for giving our country to this golden momento? Obviously they have no idea to the amount of sweat, toil, tears and years of perseverence that goes in fighting against the unproductive indian sport just for passion.

Abhinav's achievement is purely his own (and his family's).

We can celebrate and thank him for giving us this joy and honour but we have no right ever to say that it is ours (as Mr. Suresh kalmadi from the IOC said....'we' have won a gold).

How can you compare his achievement at the olympics with that of the criketers who have barely 6-7 nations in the world cup? (and check out their earnings....!)

Fools are those athletes who continue to practise, struggle, compete with competitors as well as federation officials in the indian sport purely for...the love of it (coz when you do something so sincerely for free... it can be only for the love of it.)

Congrats Abhinav you have made India proud and created a history in 10m "Air Rifle Shooting" for India
