András – in 2005, you had already won three world titles at the age of 18. Do you see yourself as a natural talent?
Some people say that, but I’m not sure if it’s true. I think, however, that it takes more than talent to be successful in the long term. But I am still proud today of my successes in 2005, especially the Compak world title. After all, I had started in the Juniors category and then went into the shoot-off with the best shooters in the open class due to my good results. And I won it.
What was the most important factor for your success?
I think the foundation was that my dad helped and supported me with my rifle shooting very early on. I used to go hunting with him when I was little and so of course I enjoyed handling a rifle. That made it much easier for me to take on the challenges involved in a competition.
