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)

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

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

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.

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.

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.

      Fencing FIE World Cup 2024 - 2025

      By copravolley · Posted

      I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.

      Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't.

      Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.

      Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.

      No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal.

      Does Ukraine have good relations with Poland, or are they more cold, like, for example, Italy with France?

      Until recently, Ukrainian fencing was just Kharlan and sabre. Maybe epee sometimes. I don't remember them ever was strong in foil. There was a time when Russia, Romania and Poland were strong in foil at that time when Italy dominated but I don't remember Ukraine anymore.   Hungarian women with Aida Mahomed were too strong for many years.

      No surprise with Aaron Judge winning AL MVP and Shohei Ohtani winning NL MVP awards.   Ohtani is the second player in history to win MVP in both leagues. Frank Robinson (1961 Reds & 1966 Orioles) was the only one before.
