The Paris Summer Olympics are upon us, so it just made sense to catch up with champion trap shooter, Ray Bassil, who represents Lebanon. With world and regional titles already won, she is hoping to end a generational drought and become the first Lebanese Olympic champion in shooting in the 21st century.

• Ray discussed her journey through shooting and the challenges faced, particularly in a non-traditional sport shooting environment in the Middle East, for women
• Ray also shared her experiences of dealing with the delayed run up to Tokyo 2020(1) and her preparations in 2024.
• Nii and Ray discussed the rise of mental health awareness for athletes in recent years.
