Maken formally launches Abhinav Bindra's biography

New Delhi: Sports minister Ajay Maken formally launched India's only individual Olympic gold medalist shooter Abhinav Bindra's biography at a city hotel on Thursday.

The book titled, "A Shot at History My Obsessive Journey to Olympic Gold" was co-authored by journalist and sports writer Rohit Brijnath.

The book, which took two years to complete, is divided into 21 chapters. It starts with the disappointment of the 2004 Athens Olympics and goes on to describe, moment by moment, the path to Bindra's glory in 2008 Beijing Games.

Even though it has been formally launched this evening, the 260-page book, which is published by HarperCollins and includes a 16-page photo feature, has already hit the bookstores across the country on October 20.
