Double trap great Peter Wilson applies for post of Indian shooting coach

New Delhi, Aug 17 (PTI) 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 Nathan in trap, with the crowning glory coming in Paris where his ward 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
