I am quite a loser: Bindra

8220;Sport is one part of life. There are so many other things to life but I have done nothing,8221; he added.

The 25-year-old said he was studious child until he caught hold of a rifle and became addicted to taking aims at shooting ranges.

8220;As a child I was not at all fond of sports. I was a studious kind. But after I started shooting, I hated studies. When I got into a sport, I just couldn8217;t stand studies,8221; the Chandigarh-lad, who won his Olympic gold in the 10m air rifle event said.

Bindra said it has been a tough journey to Olympic glory but hoped that it would become easier for the upcoming athletes due to India8217;s stupendous performance in Beijing, where the country clinched three individual medals.

8220;You know an athlete8217;s life seems very glamorous that he is going here and there to the Olympics. The other side always looks greener. But I think an athlete8217;s life is very hard. There is so much pressure. It8217;s not all fun and frolic,8221; he said.

8220;There needs to be a proper system in place. There has to be a vision so that we work towards something and that is lacking unfortunately at the moment. If we start now, then maybe in 10 years time we will get some benefits,8221; he added.
