to process the women’s 10-meter air rifle final Monday morning at the Chateauroux Shooting Centre The 30-year-old shooter came agonizingly close to bringing home a piece of Olympic hardware – just missing the podium by finishing fourth Maddalena was the last one eliminated prior to the medal-winning rounds falling just 1.4 points short of Switzerland’s Audrey Gogniat — the eventual bronze medalist It’s an event where competitors are so accurate that even something that could be considered a bull’s-eye can come up just a bit short A shot that hits dead center in the target would score a 10.9 followed incrementally by others farther away South Korea’s Hyo-jin Ban would eventually defeat China’s Yuting Huang 251.8 (10.4 final shot) to 251.8 (10.3) to win the gold Both equaled the Olympic record set by Chinese shooter Qian Yang at the Tokyo Games in 2021 “It was a lot of work to get here and just being dropped out (at the end) …” Maddalena said after the event did what I had to do to get my nerves down I actually felt fairly calm once I stepped up on the line because I knew my job.” The finals’ format added to the stress level Then the one with the lowest points was eliminated That process was repeated over and over until one shooter was left standing Maddalena entered the elimination stage in fourth she was sitting in seventh place and on the chopping block A 10.4 score on her next shot gave her some breathing space and then she popped off a 10.8 on her 14th try to leapfrog into fourth She overtook hometown favorite Oceanne Muller of France and Kazakhstan’s Alexandra Le who won a bronze medal Saturday in the team event Maddalena added a second consecutive 10.8 to put herself in medal contention She had a chance heading into her final shot But a tally of 9.8 saw her tournament come to an end The atmosphere was different than in qualifying Once quiet outside of the pops of air rifles cheering from the crowd not only was allowed in the elimination round but encouraged Maddalena received her share of noise following her two-shot stretch of 10.8 “The crowd and spectators were great,” Maddalena said “I could definitely feel the excitement in the air.” Maddalena still has one Olympic event left: the women’s 50-meter three-position rifle That begins Thursday with the qualification round at noon Central European Time The University of Alaska Fairbanks alumna placed fifth in the specialty during the 2020 Tokyo Games Maddalena said she hopes her fourth-place performance at 10 meters can be a springboard to bigger things

missed his first one He then only missed the target on his 19th shot in the final round there was a lot of variables that I’m not used to,” Hinton said but I was kind of running the wrong routine And then I did a lot of learning overnight and changed it today.” He and Guatemala’s Jean Pierre Brol Cardenas won a tiebreaker for sixth with four others shattered the previous Olympic final mark of 43 with a 48 to win the gold while China’s Ying Qi and Brol Cardenas took silver and bronze Along with the motivation to improve his game after competing against the world’s finest trap shooters Hinton

has about three more before military retirement She joined the Army in March 2017 and was stationed at Fort Moore as a member of the Army Marksmanship Unit immediately after basic training The women’s trap competition at the 2024 Paris Olympics on Tuesday and Wednesday at the Chateauroux Shooting Centre reinforced this mindset she finished 18th out of 30 competitors with 116 clays shattered “This is going to be the goal from now until the next Games — to make the next team,” Tozier said hopefully shoot the whole time through and not get stuck in an office.” The Olympic dream began long before the Pattonsburg encouraged Tozier to learn the sport of trap shooting at the age of 12 and she enjoyed it so much she wrote down the goal of making the Olympics her senior year of high school 20 years after first picking up a gun and 14 years after making it a life goal “This is greater than I ever could have imagined,” Tozier said of the experience but to be able to compete against the best of the best in the world Competitors had five rounds of 25 clays apiece to hit and their totals then decided which six advanced to the finals the Central Missouri graduate missed three targets for scores of 22 She managed to bounce back Tuesday by missing just one of her final 66 shots putting her in 12th place and two targets away from the cut line Wednesday morning’s 22 took her out of consideration before the final round Tozier mentioned how nerves got the best of her but she also credited the other shooters for simply being better over the days Eight athletes recorded totals of 120 or better and two of them missed the final after a shootout tiebreaker “Even if I could have had a couple targets back and they’re not missing but one or two out of 125 Ivan Roe already turned the page onto the next Olympic cycle Wednesday In his third and final event at the Paris Olympics Roe started off strong but faded late in the 50-meter rifle three-position qualification round The Army Marksmanship Unit member amassed 587 points and 32 bull’s-eyes to finish 20th The top eight qualified for Thursday’s final The 28 year old sat in sixth with 198 points and 12 bull’s-eyes but he dropped to 11th in the prone position with a 197-point performance Needing to do well in the standing position starting with his practice shots that carried over with an 8 He finished that position with a score of 192 “I wanted (my prone score) to be a little bit higher and I didn’t want to have to rely on standing going into it,” Roe said and it was just one of those days that (my) standing (game) wasn’t there.”

Chateauroux Shooting Centre continues with R6 - mixed 50m rifle prone SH1 event scheduled for the final day Sagen Maddalena’s performance Friday during the women’s 50-meter rifle three-position final at the Paris Olympics mimicked a rollercoaster sitting in first place through her first 30 shots in both the kneeling and prone positions But just like after the first big climb of an amusement park ride her fortunes plunged early in the standing position Maddalena tumbled out of medal contention at the Chateauroux Shooting Centre with single-digit shots before the first eliminations The Army Marksmanship Unit member didn’t let that keep her down and managed to rise back up while others struggled leaving the finals hall with a silver medal in hand after totaling 463 points “I assessed and addressed and then was able to pull myself back together the next-shot mentality of got-to-let-those-go,” Maddalena said it didn’t derail her goal of making the podium The silver was Maddalena’s first Olympic medal in her fourth event The University of Alaska Fairbanks alumna had fallen just short of the medal places twice before She finished fifth in the event in Tokyo three years ago and was fourth in the women’s 10-meter air rifle on Monday in Chateauroux Switzerland’s Chiara Leone set a new Olympic record with 464.4 points to take the gold China’s Qiongyue Zhang snagged the bronze with 452.9 points it’s been a stressful week in central France as she tried to get that elusive piece of hardware She described how it messed with her sleeping and eating habits “I haven’t been able to eat right for so long The 5-foot-4 native of California entered Friday’s final with the top qualification score and carried over that form through the first two positions Taking three series of five shots in both kneeling and prone Maddalena posted four 10.7s and a 10.8 in her first 10 tries in kneeling She added another three 10.8s in prone as she jumped out to a total of 314 Yet her start to the standing position was disastrous Her second and fourth shots were so errant at 8.1 and 8.8 points that she went from being ahead by 0.7 points to out of second and third place by 1.5 points Her final four before the first two eliminations stabilized her into fifth place but the 98.9 points over the 10 shots almost was catastrophic “My NPA (natural point of aim) was a little off but the nerves and everything pushed them out.” The elimination round consisted of single attempts in the standing position with the lowest scorer eliminated after each series of shots Continuing the up-and-down theme

of the Turkish Gendarmerie Dikec combined with Sevval Ilayda Tarhan to win the silver in the mixed team 10m air pistol event on Tuesday it was the 51-year-old’s casual attire as he fired with his

shooting lenses with a blinder to shut out distractions and enhance focus Dikec had only an yellow ear plug in as he hit the range normal glasses and a jersey that looked like a regular T-shirt intrigued many Internet users Even the common practice among pistol shooters of firing with their non-shooting hand tucked in a pocket was seen as part of Dikec’s nonchalant charm Dikec is already back in Turkey and did not reply to Reuters messages seeking his reaction to his global fame but teammate Tarhan said he has earned his overnight celebrity status but it’s not that he does not have equipment,” the 24-year-old said on Friday “He’s used to shooting with regular glasses and does not need extra gear It’s a personal thing and he’s comfortable that way.” The Internet cannot stop gushing over Dikec who has not missed an Olympics since his debut in Beijing in 2008 Tarhan agreed Dikec fitted the description of “cool.” he’s very warm to people close to him,” she said “I’m happy to see him getting the attention,” she said “I didn’t anticipate such a level of recognition,” he told Turkish media on his arrival in the country I don’t find the equipment very comfortable.” And

women's 10-meter air rifle at the Paris Olympics on Monday, becoming South Korea's youngest shooting medalist ever at age 16. Ban edged out Huang Yuting of China in a shoot-off, 10.4 points to 10.3 points, after the two teens tied the Olympic record with 251.8 points in the final at the Chateauroux Shooting Centre in Chateauroux, south of Paris. This was South Korea's fourth gold medal of the Paris Olympics and its 100th gold medal in its Summer Games history. Ban, who only picked up shooting three years ago, blew what should have been a comfortable lead in the final stretch before coming up clutch in the nail-biting shoot-off. Ban had won Sunday's qualification phase with an Olympic record score of 634.5 points. In the final, two series of five shots were fired at first, with shooters given 250 seconds per series and the perfect score being 10.9. Those 10 shots were followed by 14 single shots, fired on command within 50 seconds per shot. Eliminations of the lowest-scoring finalists began after the 12th shot -- the series and then the first two single shots -- and continued after every two shots until the gold and the silver medals were decided. After two series, Ban was in second place with 104.8 points, 0.7 behind Huang and 0.2 ahead of Audrey Gogniat of Switzerland. Ban began cutting into her deficit in the single-shot stage, and then grabbed the lead with a perfect 10.9 with her 16th shot that gave her 168.7 points, now 0.1 better than the 17-year-old Chinese. Huang pulled into a tie at 200.5 points by hitting 10.7 with her 19th shot, while Ban managed a 10.5. But Ban regained her lead with her next shot, scoring 10.5 to Huang's 10.4 It was essentially a two-horse race for the gold at that point, with Gogniat mostly out of sight. Ban extended her lead at 221.7-221.4 with the 21st shot, and appeared to have virtually locked down the gold when Huang stumbled to a 9.6 on the 22nd shot while Ban hit a 10.6. With Gogniat now eliminated, Ban held a 1.3-point lead with two shots left. Ban hit a 9.9 with her 23rd shot, seconds after Huang put a 10.3 on the board. The lead was now down to 0.9 point. It still should have been enough for Ban, but Huang, refusing to go away, struck a 10.5. Ban only needed to hit a 9.7 or better but ended up scoring a 9.6, setting up the thrilling shoot-off. As had been the case throughout the final, Huang fired first and hit a 10.3. And Ban, having gathered herself after the near disaster of a finish, scored a 10.4 to clinch the historic gold medal.

Sports Pistol shooting silver medalist vows to bring home gold A lot of athletes would love to be in Kim Ye-ji's position Sunday, with an Olympic silver medal around her neck. But Kim, after grabbing silver behind fellow South Korean Oh Ye-jin in the women's 10-meter air pistol at the Paris Olympics, didn't fly to France to finish in second place. "I am really disappointed," Kim said afterward at Chateauroux Shooting Centre in Chateauroux, south of Paris, though the ebullient athlete didn't look the part. "My goal was to win a gold medal here no matter what. I am sorry that I didn't get it done." To her credit, Kim, 31, just lost to a better shooter on this day. Kim's score of 241.3 points would have been an Olympic record. Oh, a 19-year-old who caught lightning in a bottle, put up 243.2 points on the board for the new Olympic mark. But Kim will have two more opportunities for a gold medal she so craves. She will be in the 10m air pistol mixed team event Monday, and her main event, 25m pistol, is set for Friday. Kim is the world record holder in that event. "I am always confident," Kim said. "At worst, I will try to win one gold medal." As devastated as she was at not being able to get it done Sunday, Kim said she was buoyed by the emergence of a young shooter like Oh. "We need to have more and more young athletes like her to ensure our sport will continue to develop," Kim said. "And more people will take interest in shooting, and more people will start picking up the sport. And maybe we will have a young shooter like Ye-jin come out of nowhere and win an Olympic medal. It could happen to anyone."

(Xinhua/Ju Huanzong) CHATEAUROUX, France, July 27 (Xinhua) -- World champion shooters Huang Yuting and Sheng Lihao set off China's Paris Olympics campaign to a golden start, winning the Games first gold medal with victory in the 10m air rifle mixed team event here on Saturday. The Chinese teenage duo defeated Keum Ji-hyeon and Park Ha-jun of South Korea 16-12 in the gold medal match at the Chateauroux Shooting Center. Earlier on Saturday, Kazakhstan's Alexandra Le and Islam Satpayev beat Germany's Anna Janssen and Maximilian Ulbrich 17-5 to claim the bronze medal. The gold medal match was intense with China taking a 6-2 lead, but South Korea gnawed closely behind. Chinese sharpshooters were once one-step away from the title at 14-8, but the South Koreans refused to give up, closing the gap to 14-12, thanks to a double 10.7 points. Seeing the chance to equalize, Keum shot 10.5 and Park 10.6, putting pressure on the Chinese team. Sheng responded with a 10.7, leaving the final shot to Huang, who secured the victory with a 10.8. The victory echoed China's triumph in the event's Olympic debut three years ago in Tokyo, where Yang Qian and Yang Haoran were crowned. After the win, the Chinese teenagers allowed themselves a moment of celebration, with Sheng raising his fist in response to their excited coach Yao Ye. Despite their young age, 17-year-old Huang and 19-year-old Sheng entered the Paris Olympics as hot favorites, having been nearly unbeatable as a pair since 2023. They claimed gold at the 2023 World Championships in Baku, Azerbaijan, and at the Asian Games in Hangzhou. They also set a new world junior qualification record with 635.1 points on their way to their fourth consecutive World Cup victory in Munich, Germany, in June before coming to Paris. "The Olympic Games is a rare opportunity in life and also a chance. I must move forward bravely and seize this opportunity, staying persistent, determined, and not giving up during the process, leaving no regrets for myself," Huang said after securing her berth for Paris 2024. Sheng, meanwhile, is participating in his second Olympic Games, having become the youngest Olympic medalist with a silver in men's 10m air rifle in Tokyo at the age of 16 years and 233 days.
