Dorji Phurba [personal], BHU, from 2013

She began shooting in 2013 in Thimphu, Bhutan. (Athlete, 22 Sep 2014)

She trained as a police officer, topping her class in rifle shooting. Along with three others she was then approached by the Bhutan Olympic Committee, who were looking for elite shooters from the police training centre. "Rifle shooting was a part of training for me. Whether I enjoyed it or not, there wasn't an option. But now I enjoy the sport. When I was selected for the national team, I didn't even know that there was a shooting federation. Shooting is my passion and through it I learn to face experiences that are new and worth experiencing." (Bhutan Olympic Committee Facebook page, 18 Jan 2018; parkbhutantours.com, 15 May 2016)
