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.

Yeah, Prague is definitely one city I can personally imagine hosting a great olympics. Definitely more suitable than the black hole we use as capital lately

What about a three way bid between Prague, Bratislava and Budapest?

USA will probably not approve it since it will lessen the medals' total. Shooting is one event where both USA & China would be keen to keep as it is.

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.

You could appoint some kind of supreme executive power to ensure that everything ran smoothly, wearing special regalia for easy recognition.

I feel like not having the shooting events separated by gender is actually pretty reasonable? 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 ;)

    • Zurich fend off Färjestad to claim European Club Champions title     Zurich defeat Färjestad to become CHL Champions Färjestad's inability to convert on special teams was costly Sven Andrighetto scored both goals for the Swiss     Sven Andrighetto scored twice, including the game-winner at 32:33, and Šimon Hrubec made 31 of 32 saves as ZSC Lions Zurich kept the European Trophy in Switzerland with a nail-biting 2-1 victory over Färjestad Karlstad.   The Swedes scored late to bring the game to within one, but a dominant defensive effort from the Swiss side helped secure their well-deserved win in the 2024/25 Champions Hockey League Final.   Both netminders were excellent through the first 20 minutes, but an opportune moment near the end of the frame enabled the Swiss to break the deadlock when Andrighetto slid a loose puck between the pads of Maxime Lagacé to open the scoring at 17:48.    Dario Trutmann threw the initial shot on net as the puck ricocheted off several players before finding its way to the top of the blue paint where Andrighetto deposited the loose change to secure his ninth of the year.   Then in the second, it was Andrighetto again as the 31-year-old extended his club's lead with seven and a half to go in the middle frame.   Play developed as Denis Malgin skated the puck through neutral ice before dropping it off for Rudolfs Balcers who quickly dished it to Andrighetto in the near circle where he one-timed it past the Färjestad netminder to make it 2-0 in favour of the hosts.   The Swiss continued to put on a defensive clinic in the second, mitigating the Swedes' offensive pressure and minimising their high-danger chances.   Hrubec managed to turn aside all 20 Färjestad shots through the first two periods to keep his club's advantage heading into the third.   Still trailing by two, the Swedes were awarded their fourth powerplay of the night when Zurich's Malgin was called for Boarding at 50:59 and would make good on the ensuing man-advantage thanks to Per Åslund's second of the season and first since his goal on Game Day 1.   Off the face-off win, the puck found its way to David Tomášek who slid it towards the stick of Åslund who was parked at the top of the crease where he redirected it past Hrubec with less than ten minutes to play in regulation.   Desperate to find the equaliser, Färjestad pulled their netminder in the closing moments but Zurich's defence, spearheaded by Hrubec, pulled through as the Swiss fought off the Swedes' last-ditch effort to claim victory and be crowned European Club Champions.
