GINNY THRASHER: My name is Ginny Thrasher. I started rifle shooting when I was 14 years old as a freshman in high school. Five years later, I qualified for the Rio Olympics kind of as a surprise. And then I actually won the very first gold medal of the Olympic games.

I think for me personally, I'm just obsessed with doing as much as possible in training because I think that preparation is where a lot of confidence comes from. So if I can do as much as possible and really go through every scenario and prepare as best I can, then when I get to the actual competition, I can have that confidence that I'm capable of handling any challenge.

So I'm not competing just for the Olympics. I'm competing to kind of find the best version of myself and to reach my own potential.
