The Granada 2024 WSPS Para Trap World Championships saw hosts Spain
Slovakia and Italy stamp their dominance in the shotgun events
PT2 and PT3 individual titles respectively at Las Gabias Shooting Center on Tuesday (4 June)
The pressure was on Pedro Gomez Albendea of Spain to etch his name in the history books
And he did not falter as he delivered Spain’s first world title in the PT1 - mixed trap seated SG-S in front of a boisterous home crowd
Gomez Albendea secured himself a place on the top of the podium
as his 33 saw off a challenge from Germany’s Thomas Hoefs
Czech Republic’s Jaroslav Klimes rounded off the podium on 25
“I’m in my country where I’ve been training so much with my coach
I think I deserve it,” said Gomez Albendea
“I was a bit more nervous because this is my home range
It was one of my biggest goals to win here
Gomez Albendea qualified fourth but took full control of the final as the contest moved into its second half
but I saw others getting some fails and I started to go well and kept on going.”
The Para Trap World Championships circuit moved to Spain for the first time after two successful meets in Lonato del Garda
And the shooters – a total of 53 from 17 nations – competing at Granada 2024 could not have asked for a more scenic setting with the Sierra Nevada mountains looming behind the shooting range
It also proved to be the perfect hunting ground for Slovakia’s Filip Marinov as he bagged his first word title in the PT2 - mixed trap standing SG-L
ended up scoring 43 ahead of Italy’s Fabrizio Cormons with 40
while Finland’s Vesa Jarvinen had to settle for bronze on 27
The final was so difficult with the different wind conditions
After a few hits I told myself to focus on every target alone
And that’s what got me the gold medal,” said Marinov
Italy has been churning out impressive talent in the sport ever since it became an approved World Shooting Para Sport discipline in 2017
And Gabriele Nanni certainly fits that billing
whose career haul so far includes an impressive five individual titles
went shot-for-shot with Spain’s Adrian Becker Castillo in the final round as both shooters ended on 36 points
It was Nanni who ultimately kept his composure in a tense shoot-off (2-1) to secure gold in the PT3 - mixed trap standing SG-U
Compatriot Mirko Cafaggi took the bronze with a score of 25
It was such a hard final but when I hit my last targets
I really started to believe I could win this
I had no doubt about the shoot-off,” said Nanni
We’re going to drink a lot of wine that’s for sure
Italy also won the team event in PT1 ahead of the United Arab Emirates
Only gold and silver were awarded due to the number of teams entered

Granada city's metro will have eight new trains to cover the extension of the line through Churriana and Las Gabias
these vehicles will be used to increase frequency and reduce waiting times
trains will run every six minutes instead of the current eight
doubling the capacity of each journey in order to clear certain stops more smoothly during festivals and events
The trains have been manufactured specifically for the Granada metro
They are more modern and comfortable than the current ones and seven of them are already in the metro depot with the final one due to be delivered on 23 May
The new trains are expected to be put into operation from September
following testing and the training of new drivers
The new trains are Urbos 100 and have a beak-shaped head
something that will distinguish them from the current fleet
Testing has already started and is taking place in the early hours of the morning and without passengers when the usual trains aren't running
Other areas such as comfort are still to be tested
The trains are already running at an average speed of 20 kilometres per hour
The fleet will have 40 per cent more seats thanks to the eight new vehicles and provision will be significantly improved
The next step is the pre-authorisation test
which consists of simulating the commercial operation
reproducing all the characteristics of the service (travel times
The characteristics of the infrastructure must be taken into account: most of the route is overground where the metro coexists with traffic
"Our objective is the incorporation of new units
which we hope will take place in the months of September and October
by which time it will be possible to improve the transit interval and increase transport capacity," said the councillor for development
The new trains have similar dimensions to the current ones
with a length of 33.05 metres and a maximum width of 2.65 metres
The changes are minimal: they have a very similar size and a more modern line
but maintain the corporate image with illustrations inspired by Granada
seats have been redistributed and user information screens have been incorporated
as well as some supports for standing passengers and armrests
Drivers will have new aids and the systems will improve operating operations
The Urbos 100 is an evolution of the Urbos 3
improvements in terms of safety and energy efficiency - more autonomy for driving on sections without catenary - and also with improvements in passenger information systems
The expansion of the Granada metro train fleet has involved an investment of 40 million euros
These new trains will both improve the current service and provide rolling stock for the southern extension of the Granada metro
currently under construction between Armilla
The Granada metro started running in September 2017 with 15 trains running between 26 stops from Albolote and Armilla
