A Twitter User Tried To Troll Abhinav Bindra’s Rio Loss But Was Shot Down By This Epic Reply
Rio Olympics was disappointing for India as far as the medal tally goes but there were some performances worth remembering such as Dipa Karmakar, Abhinav Bindra, Manish Singh, Dattu Bhokanal and Lalita Babar.
Badminton player PV Sindhu won a silver medal while wrestler Sakshi Malik won a bronze medal for the country and both of them can be seen in various felicitation ceremonies which are being held to reward their efforts.
One more athlete who was also a part of such ceremonies despite not being able to win a medal is gymnast Dipa Karmakar and this irked one of the fans of shooter Abhinav Bindra.
Abhinav Bindra narrowly lost out on a medal at the Rio Olympics, finishing fourth in the final round.
All’s good. He gave his best. We should applaud his hard work and dedication he put in for the past 4 years to qualify and compete among the best in the world.
But One Twitter user even stooped down to the level of trying to humiliate him with this tweet –
@Abhinav_Bindra Bro why are you missing in all facilitations happening in Delhi? If Deepa is getting such a reception then why cant you?

First thing is that it’s FELICITATIONS and not FACILITATIONS Jasdeep. Secondly, this type of question may have troubled a common man but Abhinav is full of sportsman spirit and his reply is pure gold !!
Here is how Abhinav Bindra shut the troll up with a very mature and humble tweet –
@jasdeep204 she is a path breaker in gymnastics and I’m happy that she is getting much deserved attention. I had my moment in 2008

Soon, Twitter flooded with praises and appreciation for the shooter after the great response that he gave! It takes a lot of maturity, self-restraint, and humility to deal with a complete idiot in such a civilized way. And then, let’s not forget the fact that he is a gold medallist!
You won the Internet, Abhinav! There could be no better answer and only you could reply this way!
