Burn! Shooter Heena Sindhu Launches Scathing Attack on Shobhaa De

Heena Sidhu came to the Rio Olympics to compete in two events.

As of Tuesday night, her campaign is officially over. The former medical student failed to get past the qualifiers of the 10m air pistol and the 25m pistol events.

However, unlike her senior team-mate Abhinav Bindra, soon after her exit, Sidhu declared her wish to continue pursuing her dreams of an Olympic medal.

My campaign for this Olympics is over. I said 'this Olympics'. I will live to fight another day n fight is what I signed up for 10 yrs ago.

But...

...that’s not all Heena used her Twitter account for.

To ensure some major winning, Heena switched her target from a piece of paper at the other end of a hall to a certain Miss De sitting at the other end of the world.

India’s first-ever pistol shooter to be ranked number 1 in the world had some choice words for the author who has questioned the commitment of the athletes in Rio and their will to return with a medal.

Some ppl have been criticizing the Indian Players for 'taking selfies and coming back empty handed'. To them I say, we fight. (1)

Need to introspect why. Maybe it wud be nice if you write abt Sports sometimes... just sometimes...So that it becomes a national movement(3)

There is no reason a billion ppl cannot do well at the Olympics. No reason at all.
