How do you feel about getting your award?
I was really happy, 2023 was my best season of my life!
What has been your biggest challenge so far in your career?
To be in the top five world ranking before Tokyo 2020 because I had a job, not only shooting. I was an electricity technician. But since the Tokyo Games I finished with my job and became a full-time shooting athlete.
What are your hopes for Paris 2024? Is it a mix of excitement/responsibility?
I really want to win a medal, I really know that I have the level for that. I have to win a medal.

I don’t think this. I think judo is the most promising areas for home medals. But we will do our best to win a maximum of medals in shooting.
Who or what was your Olympic inspiration? First memory of Olympics?
I think Usain Bolt! He was the best of the best.
