It hasn't been my easiest competition," she said."I felt nervous being back on such a big stage again with so many competitors, and the standard has been so high. But I'm super happy with the bronze medal."Three days' worth of shooting is more than I've done for a while. It's been extremely hot, so it was about trying to keep cool, reset as much as possible and just focus."It's been a great competition, but I'm ready to get home to my boys."Related topicsShooting
