Bindra Shoots Bronze In Men's 10m Air Rifle


Bindra announced in July that the 2014 Glasgow Games would be his last Commonwealth Games and he finished it off in style by winning his maiden singles Commonwealth Games gold.

The former World Champion still hoped that he would participate at the Rio Olympics in 2016.

"And yes, I will still try to be at Rio and my bio is now most appropriate! Great times and am sure there will be a few more!" Bindra tweeted.

In 2006, Bindra became the first Indian shooter to become a World Champion and two years later he scripted history by winning the individual gold medal in the 10m air rifle event at the Beijing Olympics.

Bindra, who was the youngest participant at the 1998 Commonwealth Games, has four Commonwealth gold medals.

Bindra had won the team silver in the 2010 edition in Guangzhou.
