And now that Olympic Gold Quest is supporting me, things have just  become better,\u201d she says. \u201cIt\u2019s finally sunk in as I keep hearing it  over and over again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>From a disappointing 27th in the Shotgun World Cup in Beijing to  booking a quota for the London Games with a fourth-place finish at the  World Championship in Belgrade, it has been an action-packed year for  Shagun.The 28-year-old feels that she could have made the Olympic mark  much earlier but had to be kept waiting due to lack of proper training.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen one makes it to the Olympics, he has to have a certain  amount of caliber. I will never say I can\u2019t win an Olympic gold; else I  would not have qualified in the first place. I will go to the Olympics  with all the hope in the world and also all the training under my  belt.\u201dTalking about the women\u2019s team the shooter says, \u201cEveryone used to  think of us as just participants to make up the numbers, but there has  been a lot of hard work put in by the women\u2019s team, and now we are  getting recognition too. We\u2019ve had more consistent, well-planned  training and (national trap coach) Marcello Dradi should get the credit  for it.<\/p>\n<p>Her father, Sushil Chowdhary was a skeet shooter who used to  shoot with five times Olympian Maharaja Karni Singh. She has always been  a consistent performer at the national level and won the silver medal  in the 2008 Asian Clay Shooting Championships. One of the top rifle  shooters of the country, Shagun Chaudhary is a name to reckon with in  Jaipur.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>By Indian Sports News<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong><a href=\"#\" title=\"Shagun Chowdhury\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"images\/shagun%20chowdhury.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Shagun Chowdhury\" width=\"227\" height=\"200\" style=\"float: left; margin: 6px;\" \/><\/a>New Delhi<\/strong>: Life hasn\u2019t been the same for Shagun Chowdhary ever  since she became the first Indian woman to qualify for the 2012 London  Olympics in trap shooting after finishing 4th in the World Championships  in Belgrade.\u201cMy life has just become more intense than it ever has  been.
