It was a sight to behold. The national anthem playing in the backdrop. Shooter Abhinav Bindra leans forward, lowers his head on the podium to be bestowed with the rarest honour for any Indian athlete, decorated with the gold medal in the Beijing Olympics in 10-m air rifle category. A moment frozen in memory. Enhancing the image of Indian sport, for a change, on the biggest platform in the world of sport. Aptly, a fitting reply to the most-asked query, can India ever produce one gold medallist in Olympics?
