Dragon 1,854 Posted Tuesday at 05:41 PM #1251 Share Posted Tuesday at 05:41 PM I don't have any problem with target shooting being open to both sexes but I do feel this may end women's participation in top class clay pigeon shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely more suitable than the black hole we use as capital lately Expand What about a three way bid between Prague, Bratislava and Budapest?

Shooting is one event where both USA & China would be keen to keep as it is. Expand OTOH the rule is that each sport controls a set number of Olympic medals, so if you have Open categories in certain event, then all those unused medals can then be used for the kinds of disciplines that appear in the World Cup series but don't now get Olympic medals.

In Paris the gold medalist of the women’s event had a higher final score than the gold medalist in the men’s event in the 50m rifle and the 10m pistol (and multiple women had high enough scores to make the men’s final). Olympic shootgun shooting used to be open and it was fine. Also think of the bright side: no more mixed team events in shooting! Expand until 1992 shotgun shooting was "open", so it would only be a comeback to the "original sin" but tbh I don't like the idea...actually, I'm for the separation of genders also in the Equestrian Sports (like in Germany, where they have a National Championship in Show Jumping awarding both men and women's honors) p.s. physiologically, women have an edge over men in shooting sports, as they normally have a naturally slower average heartbeat rate than men Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
