He is a perfectionist, who once soled his shoes with rubber from
Ferrari tyres because he thought it would help. He would wake up at
3 am. to practice at his range at home if an idea suddenly struck
him. It is from such an incredible obsession that greatness
arrives. But Abhinav Bindra's journey to become the first Indian to
win an individual Olympic gold, and the first Indian to win a World
Championship gold, is far more than that. It is a triumph born of a
tragedy. Having driven himself to become a great shooter, he was
poised to win gold at the Athens Olympics in 2004. But defeated by
a freak occurrence, he changed as a shooter: from a boy who loved
shooting, he became an athlete bent on redemption, becoming a
scientist who would try anything, including mapping his own brain,
to win in Beijing.
