hckošice 13,130 Posted September 8, 2017 #32 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Dana Barteková finished tied 3rd with 5 other shooters in the qualification but experienced a disastrous shoot-off with only 1 hit and finished 8th, well, not bad, but the time of her last prestigious podium start to be really quite long ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlympicsFan 776 Posted September 9, 2017 #37 Share Posted September 9, 2017 The top 2 in mens skeet are both only 22 years old, which is very surprising, because normally shotgun events are dominated by older athletes. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that's not really the true, in fact it trends to be the complete opposite.. Double trap for example - average age of people on Olympic podium 2008 - 31 years 2012 - 37 years 2016 - 39 years Men's skeet... 2008 - 27 years 2012 - 31 years 2016 - 33 years #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianlu33 3,546 Posted September 10, 2017 #40 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Nice day for our skeet.. very bad performance for Bacosi/Rossetti but at last Cassandro/Spada won the bronze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
