Ahem..I mean “Olympics” obviously. The inner potential spelling be champion located next to the kidney of all Indians corrected my terrible spelling error in the title. But finally! An Indian has won an individual gold medal (our first major worldwide achievement in sport outside of the spelling bee)! Abhinav Bindra won the gold in the Men’s Air Rifle event yesterday, but even cooler was his outfit:
All those years of DuckHunt finally paid off. Any of you guys out there like me, and would end up getting frustrated and just run up to the TV smacking the screen point blank with that awesome orange gun? I regress…this is a great achievement though, and I won’t trivialize it by equating his feat to DuckHunt.
Another Indian, Raj Bhavsar helped the US men’s gymnastics team capture a bronze medal after a hard fought journey to get on the team itself. Congrats! Wait here while I attempt the pummel horse on my dog.
