Abhinav’s mantra of Olympics success: Don’t think about it!

Zeenews Bureau

India’s golden boy Abhinav Bindra won a billion hearts after winning the elusive top spot in an Olympics event. The one thing that struck everyone was his calm and composed manner even after creating history, such a welcome attitude was surely not expected from a 25 year old. Another facet of Bindra’s life happens to be the fact that he is an avid blogger and was busy punching on the keyboard after he won the gold medal. His blog gives a glimpse of what went through the mind of the athlete who shot directly into the heart of an entire nation with his marvellous feat.After winning the medal, Abhinav wrote a blog and stressed that he was still the same guy who was spending his time alone in his room before destiny knocked on his doors. He strained the need for the corporate franchise to step in and support the athletes of India rather than pumping all the money in one sport. He also wrote that he was humbled by the great response he got from the entire nation upon winning the medal and he promised the people that he would do all that he can to groom the next generation of athletes. He ended his blog by writing, “I would like to appeal to each Indian to also do their bit in prodding us out of sporting complacency.” The manner in which he has conducted himself even after doing something that no athlete has done so far for the country is impeccable. This goes out to show how the new India is poised to make progress by leaps and bounds with a calm head. His blog entry on the 7th of August, shortly before he won the gold medal, talks about his state of mind upon attending the opening ceremony in the Olympics village. Needless to say, he was full of patriotic feelings and was extremely proud of the fact that the national anthem was played as their contingent marched on. But one thing that many would be interested in is the fact that his mental preparation for the final event did not include one thing…the event itself. Abhinav goes on to say in his blog that he would rather enjoy the scenic beauty and eyeball the beautiful women in Beijing rather than constantly burden himself with thoughts of shooting and rifles!! It is a therapy not many would recommend but the results are for all to see. All we can say to Abhinav, the man with the golden finger is, “Right said Abhinav, and we are with you.” For complete and special coverage of Beijing Olympics Click here>>>
