“Tomorrow will mark the end of my professional shooting life! I will however still shoot, compete as a hobby shooter training twice a week,” the 2008 Beijing Olympics gold medallist wrote on his twitter page.
“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!” added Bindra.
