Olympic sports should be given priority to make India a sporting nation, said the country's first Olympic individual gold medalist Abhinav Bindra on Thursday after a meeting with President Pratibha Patil. Emerging from a 20-minute meeting with Patil, Bindra, attired in the Indian Olympic contingent uniform of sky blue blazer and black trouser, said he was overwhelmed at the reception given to him on his return from Beijing.
