We Don’t Love Sport, We Only Love Winning In Sport’: Abhinav Bindra’s Brutally Honest Take On India’s Sporting Culture

Olympic Champion Abhinav Bindra expounded on a no-holds-barred look at the state and perception of sport in India, stating that the nation is merely in love with the idea of success in sport, but not sport as a whole, during his interaction at the Rising Bharat Summit in New Delhi on Wednesday.

Bindra, whose unbridled dedication to sport culminated in his historic victory at the 2008 Beijing Olympics where he clinched gold in the men’s 10m air rifle event to become the nation’s first individual Olympic champion, later transitioned into entrepreneurship and philanthropy.
