First two quotas in the Men's Trap go to  and .

 

Really pleased that Nathan Hales got the quota after missing out by one place at the European Championships. It means the fourth quota will come down to the best third place finisher if Aaron Heading gets through in the second semi-final.

Yep, we better stop bidding for the events because the Osijek championships have been a disaster both as a Tokyo qualifier and now.

Becoming pretty doubtful whether we will qualify anyone in trap this time, and that's the despite the fact that two Olympic champions are on the team. It would be an achievement for history books...

 Derrick Mein is still choking. That was nerve-racking.

no medal for the young Indian (but at least he has the consolation of an Olympic quota place).

 

USA, Great Britain and Chinese Taipei on the podium!

Good that someone from Pan America qualified here. Not that we are anywhere close at grabbing one of the Pan American quotas, but getting rid of some competition is always good.
