IN SHORT

Internationally acclaimed champion trapshooter Ray Bassil has won numerous distinctions and gold medals and has represented Lebanon in two Olympic games. With two years to go, she has her sights set on Tokyo. And despite the difficulties and personal sacrifices she has faced along the way, she’s not letting anything deter her. “Adversity doesn’t put me down,” Ray says. “It pushes me on to become even better. It makes me a stronger person.”
