Shooting ISSF World Championships 2018

[dcro 10,210]

Cool, 5th medal for us thanks to Josip Kuna. And only the 1st in non-Olympic event.

and for the happiness of our friends @hckosice & @LDOG (and for my desperation ) this is the provisional ranking of the women's Skeet competition...

It's not that hopeless for Italy. Bacosi at least can still easily make the final. And the other two have still a chance as well.

I wouldn't say "easily"  (with the top 3 places already gone, she's still behind people like Rhode, Connor & Allen)...

and in any case, everything not being a clean sweep of the event (which is now de facto impossible), for us it's a flop...

the truth is that we are facing our worst world championship in a very, very long time in shotgun shooting...and one of the worst ever in rifle & pistol shooting (at least since we did appear with some ambition on this sport's map)...

Germany and Italy are obviously tanking here, by 2020 they will be back at the top 100%. Of course India looks amazing at junior level, but half of their "juniors" look like 30 year olds, so for now i am not too worried that they will replicate their results at senior level.

Why would they tank ? Does look like they are having a bad world championships. Just 1 quota for Italy so far and only 2 for Germany. US also seems to be underperforming. China, Korea and Russia seem to be the ones with better performance thier Rio olympics level.

US didn't do too well at the 2014 World Champs either. They only won two quotas there, one of which is no longer an Olympic event. They'll make up their quotas later at the continental and world cup events

It's obvious that the Indians have discovered a new substance that slows the aging process, and they are using it to win medals in junior shooting...that's disgusting, I hope they are caught and banned!!!!!!!!

Wake up sheeple!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol our girl in skeet missed a whooping 11 shots (!) today and dropped from 2nd to nowhere.

 

Silver lining for us is that USA qualified all 3 shooters for the final.
