"Camp situation was fine as only few shooters were there, there was no large gathering and it was for three days." Asked about the Olympics Games that are shrouded in uncertainty, Bhaker said she will look to carry on with her routine that is part of her preparation. "I am relaxed at home. The current situation doesn't affect my preparation and mindset. I am continuing with my yoga sessions, meditation and things that help me stay calm and composed.
The Olympics, whenever it happens, is huge, so we need to be prepared. I am preparing for the Olympic as planned. Shooting is very competitive now, especially 2019 and after, and it is evident from the scores," the Commonwealth Games and Youth Olympics gold medal- winner added. Bhaker, who secured an Olympic quota for India in the women's 10m air pistol event, enjoyed a successful season last year where she won five World Cup gold medals in individual and team events. She burst on to the national scene in 2018 with a victory at the ISSF World Cup in Mexico, and has not looked back since.
