India's pistol shooter feels hitting peak and maintaining it till next year is going to be challenging even as Tokyo Games postponement gives him more time to sharpen skills
Abhishek Verma
SCATT is an advanced equipment, involving sensors, and used by top shooters to keep track of their progress while training both indoors and outdoors. "I like to practise 365 days a year but right now I am able to do only dry practise. When I came home, the plan was to only stay for two-three days, but then the lockdown was announced and I got stuck here.
"But there is no other way at the moment given the situation. I can only hope that things normalise and I am able to go back and start practising again. "Definitely, it will be different now that the Olympics have been postponed. It's not easy to maintain the focus and form. So I will concentrate on maintaining my form and focus till the Games," the double World Cup gold medallist said.
In the absence of his key equipment, Verma's training is restricted to dry practice, simulation, exercises, yoga and meditation.
