four medals from the Rio bound team. Looking at the team the London Olympics Silver medalist is definite of a grand performance from the team.

“We have a fantastic team in Rio. One is better than the other. I strongly hope that we should get at least four medals in shooting,” Vijay told.

This time Vijay could not make the cut for the Olympic. However, he is not at all bothered of that at this moment. He feels himself as a team to the shooters going to Rio and ready to cheer them.

tremendous dedication and hard work, and it is about peaking at the right time. At the moment, I can’t wait for the shooting competition to get underway and cheer for India”, further stated Vijay.
