Bindra, who became India’s first individual Olympic gold medallist by topping the 10m air rifle event at the Beijing 2008 Olympics, was honoured by the International Olympic Committee. “When I was a kid, it was these Olympic rings that gave meaning to my life,” Bindra said.
Bindra, who is also the vice-president of the IOC Athletes’ Commission, said the award will inspire him to work even harder and contribute to the Olympic movement. “It was a privilege to be able to pursue my Olympic dream for over two decades. After my career as an athlete, it has been a great passion of mine to try to contribute to the Olympic movement. It is a privilege and an honour for me,” he said.
