From the intensity of the Olympic arena to the quiet end of a career, Abhinav Bindra’s story is one of unwavering dedication and a relentless pursuit of excellence. The first Indian to achieve individual Olympic gold and a World Championship gold in shooting, his path was forged by an unshakeable desire to conquer. Following a devastating disappointment at the 2004 Athens Olympics, where a medal felt within reach, Bindra transformed into a determined athlete on a mission for redemption. Driven by a scientific approach, he left no stone unturned in his quest for victory at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. His triumph transcended personal achievement, shattering a century-old sporting barrier for India. This updated edition chronicles Bindra’s journey beyond his historic win, including his close call at the 2016 Rio Olympics, where he narrowly missed the medal podium. For the first time, Bindra shares the profound challenge of being diagnosed with epileptic seizures during his preparation for Rio and his remarkable triumph over this obstacle. Renowned sportswriter Rohit Brijnath collaborates closely with Bindra, delving deep into his thoughts and experiences to present one of the most compelling autobiographies of an Indian athlete.
