Tucker taught herself how to shoot by watching YouTube videos of world shooting competitions. Now, she's headed to Paris and aiming for a gold medal.
Mary Tucker is above-average in her sport, thanks to her everyday approach to average life.Coming off a silver medal in the 2020 Tokyo Games, Tucker is on top of the sport shooting world. Not bad for someone who picked up her first air rifle just six years ago.'Yeah, so I started on a high school team, and I was so bad at it, I could barely even hit the target so people are kind of like, you should probably try to do something else, maybe this isn't the sport for you,' Tucker said.
'I think it's actually more important to embrace the nerves and think of it as excitement,' Tucker said.One thing that helps Tucker calm her nerves is snuggling at home with her 21-pound cat. She stays grounded by always being connected to the people who have been there for her, long before her Olympic fame. If she gets stressed or down, she knows who to call.'Definitely one of my best friends Ann or Mallory, I called them a lot with anything,' Tucker said.
