If he is an Olympic champion in trap then he must be from Croatia.

 

Anyway, great new title in trap.

I am for the Trap mixed at 100% where can I sign ?

Ah come on...more events to be cut in favour of mixed events? I didn't expect shooting would be the next victim of the modern "everything has to be mixed!11"-urge

I'd like to see a men's pistol event mixing precission with rapidness, similar to Women's 25.

 

However, I don't like that mixed team events that seem to be on the IOC's agenda as of lately.

I agree  Maybe we can add the mixed skeet too?

Team events of individual sports, the cancer of Olympics....

 

Team Archery, Team Fencing, Team Table Tennis... only there to pump the medal numbers of big nations

And it's even worse when it's mixed.. 

 

I mean, in some sports it works ok, like in a relay kind of event. But all these purely individual sports don't need it...if there's one sport where a team event has no place it would be shooting (well and archery, and fencing  at least in table tennis there is a doubles event instead of only individual)
