On retaining quota

Moudgil focussed

New Delhi: Aware that mere securing an Olympic quota would not guarantee her a place in the 10m air rifle event at the Tokyo Games, CWG silver medallist shooter Anjum Moudgil is focussed on sharpening her skills and take her fitness to the next level. Moudgil took a silver while Apurvi Chandela finished fourth in the women’s 10m air rifle event of the ISSF World Championship in September last year to become the first set of Indian shooters to secure quota places for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. “I never thought about quota, especially not in the air event. It was a good experience. I still remember each and every shot and I remember telling my coach ‘I feel very anxious’,” Anjum, whose pet event is 50m Rifle 3 Positions, said. “Many people said sustaining a quota in air event is very difficult and I know I was not at my top-most level in the World Championships in air event. That gives me so much to work on. I will work on retaining the quota so that no one has any doubts left.”
