now the shooting sport takes a little Christmas break and the new season resumes in January with the Asian Championships for the Shotgun specialists ( Doha, Jan. 11th through 22nd)
the World Cup will be back in late March, beginning in Tangiers (March 25th through April 3rd, Shotgun specialists only)
the Rifle and Pistol specialists will start their new season with the European 10m Championships in Yerevan (Feb. 27th through March 5th) and the 1st World Cup stage for them will be in Granada in April (5th through 13th)
300m, 25m and 50m European Champs will be in Osijek (May 30th through June 21st), meanwhile the Shotgun European Champs will be held in Athens from Sept. 27th through Oct. 13th
USA will.play in California then Seattle then California ...why hell this long distance , teams should stay in 1 place , this is tiring even for spectators
so, the 2025 season is officially over, after the World Cup Finals have been completed with the Shotgun events, where (once again!!!) a new format for the final stage of each event has been experimented for the first time (before it becomes a regular feature in the next season)
the new format enlarge the starting field in each event's final stage to 8 shooters and dramatically shortens the number of target shots to decide the placings
the only characteristic remaining is the progressive eliminations principle
now, as written above, 8 shooters make the final, where after only 12 targets the eliminations start: by then, the last 2 shooters must leave the competition (7th and 8th ranked)
after 12 more targets (24 in total), 2 more shooters have to leave the final (5th and 6th ranked)
then, the crazy carousel starts: every 4 targets we have a new elimination so, after 28 targets, the 4th ranked shooter is done; after 32 targets the bronze medallist is known and after only 36 targets (provided there's no need for a shoot-off), compared to the previous 60, the gold and silver medallists are crowned
I guess the tiktok people with the attention span of a chinchilla have won once again
