Shattered by his failure at the 2004 Athens Olympics when a gold medal seemed imminent, he changed as a shooter: he became an athlete bent on redemption, a scientist who would try anything to win at the Beijing Olympics in 2008. His victory was not just a personal one, it broke a sporting barrier that had haunted a nation for a century. This revised edition brings the story up to date, including what happened at the Rio Olympics in 2016, where he narrowly missed being among the medals. Bindra also reveals, for the first time, how he started to suffer from epileptic seizures while in the middle of preparing for Rio and how he overcame this hurdle. Closely involved in telling this remarkable story is sportswriter Rohit Brijnath, who gets into Bindras mind to help produce one of the finest autobiographies written yet of an Indian sportsman. Author Biography Abhinav Bindra is Indias first and only individual Olympic gold medallist and the first Indian to win a World Championship gold. Born in Dehradun, the thirty-four-old shooter has won over eighty medals in twenty years.
