Abhinav Bindra’s hard work bore fruit, in 1988 he was selected for the commonwealth games at the age of 15 and he became the youngest Indian player. In Sydney, he participated in the 2000 Olympics at the age of 18. Though he did not get any position there but participating in Olympics at such a small age was itself an achievement. He participated in 2004 Athens Olympics despite of breaking the Olympics record, Bindra failed to win a medal.
