• Abhinav Bindra (33)Shooting, 10 metre air rifleQualified: May 2015, ISSF World Cup, MunichAchievements: 7 CWG medals, 4 golds; 3 Asian Games medalsPrevious Olympics: Gold, Beijing 2008It's not hard being Abhinav Bindra. He lives in a sprawling farmhouse on the outskirts of Chandigarh. He has access to every imaginable luxury. And he also has an Olympic gold medal-the only one with an individual gold. But it's also not easy being him. To continuously feed the fire inside. To spend hour upon hour in the shooting range in his back garden. To slow down his heart, quieten his nerves, stop his muscles from flinching, exhale, and press the trigger.
