Whether I enjoyed it or not, there wasn't an option. But now I enjoy the sport. When I was selected for the national team, I didn't even know that there was a shooting federation. Shooting is my passion and through it I learn to face experiences that are new and worth experiencing." (Bhutan Olympic Committee Facebook page, 18 Jan 2018; parkbhutantours, 15 May 2016)
