'I am not that old': On a comeback trail, pistol ace and Olympic medallist Vijay Kumar returns to India squad

Shooting Championships late last year, Vijay Kumar got to know that people were whispering: "He must be here visiting, isn't it?" But that was expected. A past conqueror lurking around a battlefield where he once vanquished opponents makes people keep an eye out for him. The fear in those whispers came true.

"I didn't win a medal, finished fourth [at the Nationals], but people surely were surprised that I was suddenly back," a modest Vijay said, beginning this conversation with TimesofIndia.com.That short story of a comeback was the result of just a week or so of "serious training". At 36, almost 10 years after his Olympic moment, Vijay hasn't lost the touch, even though the faces around him are now a lot younger. "I am not that old," he quipped, and then broke into a hearty laugh.
