CWG a stepping stone, my target is World C'ship: Heena

Least affected by the recent controversies around her, India's pistol ace Heena Sidhu's primary target is the World Championship, as she looks to use the upcoming Commonwealth Games as a "stepping stone" to achieve success in bigger events.
"These Games are important -- CWG and Asian Games give you a heads up to Olympics. It's a very important year and the biggest challenge for me is the World Championship," Heena told PTI.
A former world number one in air pistol, Heena added, "Training is going very well and we have accomplished a lot. It is a stepping stone for the rest of the tournaments, especially the World Championship."
"I don't feel tension and let these issues distract my training. I am not worried about what has happened and only concentrate on training. Shooting and nothing else."
"Shooting is a measurable sport, Ronak is a proven shooter and has competed in many tournaments for India, and won. Even if one spends five minutes at the range one would understand who is the coach."
