Sift, who is currently in her training base in Luxembourg, will compete in women's 50m rifle 3 positions in Paris Games, starting from July 23 in the French Capital.
The Asian Games gold medallist said that since the Olympics come after four years that's the reason it is much bigger than the other normal world cups, but for her, it's just another competition, and that she plans to follow the same things that she has done in previous tournaments and training sessions.
"It [Olympics] is the same; it's just a normal World Cup for us, and we always give our best in the World Cup. This is another tournament where we will give our best. Yes, because it comes every four years, it is much bigger than the other World Cups. But I feel like it's the same people we had in the last World Cup, so it's going to be the same. I have to do the same things I did in my previous tournaments and training. It's just the name that changes, not the people or technique."
