I kind of agree with @Cinnamon Bun - The GB shooting squad was actually one of the bright spots for Team GB last year as we banked quotas early, but they simply weren't able to build on that success through late 2023 and into 2024. Bargeron has been the lone bright spot in an otherwise bleak season for the team when it matters the most.

 

Llewelin is the most frustrating miss of the squad. He is one of the highest ranked athletes in his event, but never really came close to winning a quota at the qualifying events - perhaps his best chance came in 2022 Euros when he finished 3rd. He's been able to clock up decent results at World Cup events which is great but when it really mattered, he was more likely to miss the final. He's not the only British athlete who has been in this position - it's pretty ridiculous that Matthew Coward-Holley only just scraped in through the ranking. 

To quote from musical theatre "it's not where you start, it's where you finish..."

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.
