'Participating In SLI Is Better Than Normal Competition, ' Says 50-year-old Czech Trap Shooter David Kostelecky
ISSF Trap World Cup: Czech trap shooter David Kostelecky, at 50, is one of the oldest athletes to have expressed interest in the upcoming Shooting League of India (SLI). The two-time Olympic gold medallist (gold in the 2008 Beijing Olympics and silver in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics), who began shooting at the age of 14, turned 50 this year but remains as excited as ever to participate in this first-of-its-kind tournament.
Kostelecky explained that his love for team events is the primary reason for his excitement about the league. "I think it is more about the teams than about individual shooters. And I love it because this is what I am missing in our sport or my career," the Czech shooter said.
"I am excited to be a part of a team and try to win it together, because all my life I have competed for myself and my country. I think our sport needs more team events. I also love to shoot the mixed events at the World Cups. Thus, for me, participating in this league is better than normal competition. So this was my motivation for sure," he added.
