K. Sultan Singh, Secretary General, NRAI, said after the meeting, "There was intense competition for places and things could have changed in case some Shooters medalled at the recently concluded Lonato World Cup. But we believe that we have a great Shotgun team, which has won the highest ever spots for India at any Games and certainly a second Olympic medal in the discipline looks a strong possibility."

In this situation, her name could only be published post receiving necessary approvals from the ISSF.
