I'm glad to produce my personal best in this high-level competition.

Before I came to the World Cup, I was not very sure that I could win.

When kids my age were picking up toy cars, I used to buy toy guns. So, I took up the sport more as a recreation than profession.

It was great out there and it was a personal best for me. The sport has picked up a lot in last few years and Indians are doing so well in it.

Winning an Olympic quota place itself was a very hard job. Add to that a gold medal as well.... I mean it was a fantastic feeling. All the credit goes to my coach, and ultimately, this was the first Olympic quota place for India, so I'm really proud.

Shooting in India has become more professional and it has helped us a lot.
