The IOC approved some major ISSF changes, which will go into effect as early as the next competitions 

• Approved proposals include increasing the number of athletes in shotgun and the men’s 25m rapid fire pistol event finals from six to eight
• The 50m rifle 3 positions finals will feature just the standing position. Qualification still requires prone, kneeling and standing sections.  
• Changes have been made to the mixed team finals too, no longer creating gold and bronze-medal matches. Instead, all four teams who progress from qualification will compete together, following an elimination format instead.

This is next level bs

The other two I’m whatever on, but this is incredibly stupid.

The first and third bullet points have been put into effect, but at least in Granada, the 3P Rifle event still has the finalists do a 10-shot kneel and prone, then moving on to standing, where they eliminate from there.  Perhaps Granada is showing the new format, and the viewers still get to see the 3 positions.
