Olympic shooting can be "absolutely mental". 

At least that’s what Seonaid McIntosh has been told. The 24-year-old, already Great Britain’s most successful female rifle shooter of all time, was one of four announced on Wednesday as part of Team GB’ squad for the rearranged Tokyo Games.

While everything in 2021 is still up in the air, as it stands McIntosh will make follow in the footsteps of older sister Jen who made her Olympic bow at London 2012.
