Olympic Channel captures Bindra’s golden journey

First part of video series on the shooter recounts the gripping passage of time

It is a story told a million times to a billion people. It never ceases to inspire the youth. The Olympic Channel has captured the golden journey of Abhinav Bindra, who has won the country’s only individual Olympic gold so far, in a vibrant fashion in the first episode of its video series, Legends live on. Starting to shoot under the mango tree with Lt. Col. J.S. Dhillon, missing the Olympic final narrowly as a teenager in Sydney in 2000, having the shattering experience of an unstable wooden floor destroy his 10 best shots in Athens, to helping the country realise an incredible dream of in Beijing, and the swansong of missing the Olympic medal in Rio by a hair’s breath, the story nicely recaptures the gripping passage of time.
