Watch: Dentist and shooter Heena Sidhu aims for Olympic redemption at Rio

No Indian woman has won an Olympic medal in shooting. Dentist and Shooter Heena Sidhu intends to change that. She has been busy training ahead of Rio. The 26-year-old lives and breathes for pistol shooting. Sidhu wasn’t able to grab a podium finish at the London Olympics. But her husband and coach Ronak Pandit is still confident and believes that things will be different this time around.

Sidhu has had a good winning streak in recent tournaments, bagging the gold medal in Asia’s Olympic qualifying tournament. The pressure is on Sidhu since she is one of India’s biggest hope for a medal at Rio, but she remains unfazed. “I’ve shot so many high-pressure matches since that (London) Olympics where I’ve gotten the medal so it gives you that confidence,” she explained to AFP at Mumbai’s Maharashtra Rifle Association.
