Thailand’s James Bond-loving ace sport shooter says he is unfazed by his older opponents as the high school prodigy sets his sights on World Cup gold in India this week.
Isaranuudom Phurihiranphat is the youngest competitor at the tournament and the 14-year-old faces a strong field in the 25-metre rapid fire pistol event.
“I know I am the youngest in these games. There is tough competition but I don’t feel any pressure. I stay relaxed and calm when I shoot,” he told AFP after practice at the New Delhi shooting range.
