Rio de Janeiro: With the pistol in hand, Indian shooter Heena Sidhu did not inspire confidence in the ongoing Rio Olympics but she hasn't thrown in the towel yet and, far-fetched as it may sound at this hour, says she would hope to be there at the 2020 Games and beyond.

Heena, from whom a lot was expected in the run-up to the Olympic Games here, put up yet another disappointing show to finish a distant 20th in the 25m pistol event for women on Tuesday.
"I will never give up, the hope will be there to be there in 2020, 2024, 2028. The hope, determination will always be there.
"I will give my 100 per cent," Heena said after she lost the 25m pistol event, which she picked up only recently.
Asked to sum up the outing in her second Olympics, she said: "My performance was good, but I did not have average scores in precision. I would have been in the final, if I shot my average score in the precision.
"But I am still happy that I got to compete in two events. In London 2012, I competed only in one event.
This is a step forward. I've been doing the 25m pistol for only six-seven months, so I've a lot of time to prepare for Commonwealth and Asian Games and for next Olympics 2020."
