After a strong start, picking up quotas across shotgun and rifle, the team's performances when it matter most seems to have gone off the boil a bit and we're now heading into the last chance shoot-out for quotas (pun intended)

Squad selection for ISSF Final Olympic Qualification Championship - Shotgun: 19-Apr - 29-Apr, Doha

 

2 quota places are available in each of the events.

 

Men's Skeet:

Ben Llewellin

Mitchell Brooker-Smith

Arran Eccleston

 

Men's Trap:

Matt Coward-Holley

Aaron Heading

Ewen Ross

 

Women's Skeet:

Emily Hibbs

Alexandra Hayman Joyce

Jessica Burgess

 

Women's Trap:

Abbey Ling

Kirsty Hegarty

Maddie Purser

 

Have to admit to being a bit confused by this one - the Final Olympic Qualification event is taking place BEFORE the European Shotgun Championships. That could work in GB's favour but it seems a very messy way of managing the process.

Squad selection for ISSF Final Olympic Qualification Championship - Rifle & Pistol: 11-Apr - 20-Apr, Rio

 

Men's 10m Air Rifle:

Dean Bale

Mike Bamsey

Tom Diggle

 

Men's 10m Air Pistol:

James Miller

 

Men's 50m Rifle 3 Positions:

Dean Bale

Mike Bargeron

 

Men's Rapid Fire Pistol:

Sam Gowin

 

Women's 10m Air Rifle:

Ruth Mwandumba

 

Women's 10m Air Pistol: 

No Brits entered

 

Women's 50m Rifle 3 Positions:

Katie Gleeson

 

Women's 25m Pistol:

Jess Liddon

 

Although I am not expecting us to be bagging any quotas here, it will be interesting to see how Mwandumba gets on - she fronted the campaign as the new face of British shooting last year but then didn't really make an impact on the team selection.

 

Worth pointing out that there are also mixed team events in Rio as well - which GB have entered - but which would seem to be pretty pointless as there are no quotas directly awarded for the team events.

Sinead McIntosh took gold in women's 50m 3 positions rifle at the ISSF World Cup in Baku this weekend. She also won the event at the first World Cup in Cairo and 4th in the second event in Baku. She's showing the kind of form that she had back in 2019. Is it too much to think she could be heading for a podium in Paris?

It certainly wouldn't be a shock but shooting is a sport that - at least from my experience - has always been relatively unpredictable and prone to somewhat unexpected performances 'on the day'.

European Shotgun Championships got underway today with the 1st phase of qualifying for the men's and women's trap events. This is the last chance saloon for our shotgun squad to book their spots in Paris.

 

Women's Trap 

Lucy Hall: 70/75 (23/23/24) Currently sitting in 5th place. Has already secured quota for Olympics.

Abbey Ling: 65/75 (22/23/20) Currently sitting in 29th place. 

Madeleine Purser: 62/75 (23/19/20) Currently sitting in 39th place.

 

Long story short, :GBR won't be getting a second quota in Women's Trap.

 

Men's Trap:

Nathan Hales: 73/75 (25/23/25) Currently in 4-7th place but has already secured his ticket to Paris.

Aaron Heading: 72/75 (24/25/23) Currently in 8-12th place. Needs 2 strong rounds tomorrow to get into the final where he would be in the running for Olympic quota.

Matthew Coward-Holley: 70/75 (23/25/22) Currently in 18-37th place. This kind of sums up Coward-Holley's performance all season - he's just been too inconsistent when it really matters. 

 

If Heading doesn't get the quota here, Coward-Holley could/should be in strong position to get quota through the ranking pathway. 

 

Looking ahead to LA '28, worth saying that our Juniors are doing pretty well so far Hollie Lumsden is 4th and Leah Southall is 11th in women's junior trap and Thomas Betts is 3rd in the men's junior event.

The big one is the Men's Skeet. Need an italian or Ben Llewllin to win for Llewellin to qualify, and set up a mixed team skeet shot.

:hairpull: Lucy Hall frustratingly inconsistent again. She led competition after 100 targets only to get a 21 in the final round and now faces shoot off to get into the final. Thank goodness she already has her ticket to Paris.

A French quota also qualifies Llewellin if he fails at Euros. Don't think he will though, performed really well at Baku last week.

However he does have a nasty tendency of under performing when it really matters though - I don't think he's really been close to securing a quota in the qualifying events to date.

    • I thought that was the case.  I just started watching skimo last year, but even then, I didn't recognize any of the women.  I recognized the top Swiss guy, I think.

    • Just now getting around to these results...glad to see USA win a gold.  Didn't think we were much of a contender here.  Home soil luck?
    • Qualification status that could realistically change this week, barring (except where noted) new time qualifying performances :   Men   500m : pretty much done   1000m : pretty much done   1500m : pretty much done   5000m : one outlier at the moment  Semirunniy. He's currently not qualified for the distance being 18/15 in the rankings and R1 time-wise. He could still punch his ticket :    either by getting into the top 15 with a very good result (a podium or even a win would be needed). If it is at the expanse of  Henriksen or, less likely,  Swings, then the loser is out. If it is at the expanse of any other, then  Sasaki is out.  or by hoping Lorello gets into the top 15 at the expanse of Henriksen or Swings. or by going faster than Sasaki (6'08''834) which seems reachable after his 10k, even in Hamar.   10000m : once again Henriksen is on the bubble. If  Maly, Petzold of  Farthofer gets into the top 9 at the expanse of Malfatti or Snellink, then he's out.    Mass-start : not much at stake considering most of the reserve skaters will already receive an additional quota - at the moment    . Morino  will try to enter top 32 and be in those additional quota spots.    Team pursuit : pretty much done   Women   500m : pretty much done   1000m : with  Thorup not cleared to participate one more spot is up for grabs.  Scholz would need to be in front of both Herzog (done as she's not entered) and Czerwonka (7 points) after this final week.  Silaeva would be left out.    1500m : Lamarche not competing and  Zofia Braun being promoted to A division, Poland has got a real shot at a second quota. Braun will need to stay in front of Scholz and Weidemann, who could still finish ahead of her depending on how good Braun fares in A division.  Smedding would suffer from a Polish rise.   3000m : match-up between  Yang and  Horikawa only separated by 3 points. At the moment Yang is out (R2) but if they exchange position in the standings then Horikawa is out (R1). They could also both finish ahead of Hofmann, at the expanse of  Golubeva ultimately.  Jasch has a small shot at a second German quota too, by edging the former two skaters, eliminating them.    5000m : pretty much done   Mass-start :  Santo Rodrigues is hanging on by a thread. The cruelty of it is that those immediately behind her -    - will get an aditional spot anyways, so it does not really matter if they finish in the top 24 ahead of her, except it would allow France to enter a second skater and two girls in the MS.   Team pursuit : three-way asymetrical tie for the last SOQP spot between   and , all in division A. Norway needs to beat both as they can't rely on a time Q, Kazakhstan needs to beat Norway to ensure (if they fail to beat China) the first SOQT spot and avoid the Italian wild-card*, whereas China is pretty safe. *  is currently out but they "only" need to get into a reserve spot to be qualified, which is going faster than 3'00'92 (or faster than Norway if they too decide to skate faster). They were not far off this mark in Hamar earlier this year but the team was in a better shape overall.
