Rathore confident

Jaipur: With his preparations on the right track, ace shooter Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore said he was confident of adding a second successive Olympic medal to his kitty in Beijing 2008.

“My preparations are on. Whether I will win a gold or not cannot be said but I am confident and would try to give my best,” Rathore said here.

“I don’t feel any pressure because whatever I have achieved cannot be taken away from me and what I would achieve will be decided on the performance of that particular day. I feel my preparations are on the right track,” he added. Rathore, who is here for the National rifle shooting championship, said he did not have a permanent coach with him but said it would not have a bearing on his performance at the Olympics. — PTI
