In 2006, India’s Abhinah Bindra won the World Championships. His biggest rival in Beijing was expected to be hometown favorite Zhu Qinan, the 2004 gold medalist. The qualifying was led by Finland’s Henri Häkkinen with Zhu one point back in second, and Bindra two points in fourth place. But Häkkinen shot the lowest score in the final round, 101.4, while Bindra posted the highest score, 104.5, to win the gold medal. Zhu held onto second place and the silver medal. Bindra’s gold medal was the first ever individual gold medal won by an Indian athlete in any sport.
