Legendary double trap marksman Peter Wilson of Great Britain, who guided country-mate Nathan Hales to trap gold at the recently-concluded Paris Olympics, has shown interest in the Indian team coaching job and wants to train the shooters for the 2028 Los Angeles Games. Wilson, 37, was the youngest competitor in double trap at the 2012 London Olympics to win a gold medal. He holds the world record in double trap and took up shooting after a snow-boarding accident left him unable to play cricket.After double trap was removed from the Olympic curriculum, Wilson started coaching the Great Britain team in trap, with the crowning glory coming in Paris where his ward Nathan won gold with an Olympic record to break a 12-year-long wait for the country in the event.

“I have e-mailed my CV to the National Rifle Association of India and am waiting to hear from them,” Wilson told PTI from UK.

“I want to work with the senior team to prepare them for the LA Games and the juniors to prepare them for the next 8-12 years,” said Wilson, adding that he only aims for “success” and nothing less.

Asked if it would be a challenge coming to terms with the setup in India, he categorically said “there shouldn’t be any problem”.

He added that for him the continental championships such as the “Asian Games, the World Cups, World Championships among others are a stepping stone towards the ultimate aim of winning an Olympic medal” and he would strive for that.
