She bagged a gold medal in the 10-metre air pistol event at Rio De Janeiro, recently.

When asked about is it the time for transition in Indian shooting she replied: "Yes! definitely is. Indian shooters are doing much better than before as they giving a very good competition to other countries. The performance of an individual player boosts the overall performance of the country. Like all the young children's, they are motivated to perform better."

Yashaswini said till now her strategy worked and she will focus on improving minute things which will make a great change.
