Results of the World Shotgun Championship 2017: September 05, 2017
In the Lisya Nora near Moscow, gaining momentum, the 2017 World Shotgun Championship continues. While the Russian team does not have a rich harvest: silver in the championship among juniors Yulia Savelieva and team bronze in the Junior Championship.
But! On 05/09/17 the doublet tournament started.
Almost 60 athletes, men and women, showed their dedication to their favorite discipline, despite the negative news background. The elimination of the Double Trap from the 2020 Olympic Games program, on the contrary, only contributed to the mass character. In confirmation, we can only say that only three participants were not enough for a full-fledged World Championship among women, and the organizers of the tournament were forced to hold a Grand Prix.
Note that the weather changed dramatically on the days of the competition and the participants experienced heavy rain combined with fairly low temperatures. Simply put: it was frankly cold and damp. World leaders set the tone here too: the Italian team took gold in the team event, silver from the Chinese, the first “adult” championship medals were won by a glorious trio of Russians: Vasily Mosin, Vitaly Fokeev and Artyom Nekrasov once again proved the high status and potential of the Russian double trap.
In the women's tournament, the Italians again won gold, England won silver, and the Russian team won bronze!
The final among men was held to the accompaniment of rain. The cold did not in the least lessen the ardor and claims to gold of its participants. Elimination after the first 30 targets of the recognized favorite was perceived as a tragedy Daniele De Spigno, after it, our Vitaly Fokeev. Firmly taking the thread of shooting into his experienced hands, he overtook the Indian Ankur Mital in a champion manner and won the first gold medal for Russia in this championship. Bronze from the Chinese Hu Binyana.
Gold in the junior final James Dedman from Great Britain, silver went to Awar Rizvi from India, bronze went to Kui Ing from China. By the way, all the finalists used guns Perazzi.

Albina Shakirova, leader of the Russian round-robins.
The victorious tone set by the doubletists of Russia was conveyed to the representatives of the round stand who started right behind them. The leader of the Russian round-robins confidently held the entire tournament, made the biggest contribution to the team bronze and won the long-awaited silver medal! American gold Denmark Vizzi, bronze Andri Eleftereu from Cyprus. In the team standings, the Americans became the world champions, the Italians won the silver, the Russian women won the bronze!

The end of the men's tournament at the skete was full of drama. The fate of the gold medals of the Russian team was in the hands of Nikolai Tyoply. He had to complete the team tournament and, at the same time, fight for reaching the final. The fact is that the Russians were leading the entire championship with a minimal advantage of one target.
Nikolai did not flinch and completed his round like a man without a single miss, but the skiers of Italy turned out to be stronger: for three, they did not allow a single miss in last round and the finishing spurt snatched gold from the Russians! The bronze medals of the championship were duly taken by the Czechs.
All of Russia with enthusiasm and faith was waiting for the final at the men's skete. But, to everyone's regret, the shooting at Nikolai Tyoply and Alexander Zemlin, which is called did not go: 5th and 6th place, respectively, became a cold shower for all of us. Gold in the magnificent manner of the Olympic champion was won by Gabriele Rosetti from Italy, speaking with gun Perazzi Nicolo Zangirolami
At the 2017 Shotgun World Championships, Nikolai Teply and Nadezhda Konovalova won the long-awaited first place in the skit exercise.
The final day of the World Championship was a real triumph for the Russian national team. The last chord for us became golden. Nikolai Teply and Nadezhda Konovalova in the skeet exercise, mixed teams won the long-awaited first place, having consistently outplayed the Italians and Americans, who were content with bronze and silver, respectively.
Absolute World Championship Winner by number of medals became the Italian team: 17 medals! The US athletes finished second, the third - the hosts of the championship, the Russians with 8 medals.
Traditionally, the World Shooting Championships are held in the summer in the year of the winter Olympic Games. But those who have dedicated themselves to skeet shooting are more fortunate - for fans of skeet shooting, separate world championships are held in odd years, so they have much more opportunities to play medals. This year, the world trap shooting tournament came to the Moscow region, to the Lisya Nora shooting complex. Never before has Russia hosted such competitions, although they have been held since the mid-30s of the last century.
This World Cup is unique in its own way. This summer, the International Olympic Committee made changes to the program of the Olympic Games in Tokyo. The male double-trap is now not included in it, as well as women's competitions which took place from 1996 to 2004. This is not very good news for the Russian team - in this discipline, domestic shooters have always been favorites, and the bronze of Vasily Mosin in 2012 is proof of this.
Now instead of the male double-trap in Olympic program includes mixed competitions in the usual trap, and the World Championship in Moscow is the first in which this discipline became competitive along with a mixed skeet tournament. Previously, this type of shooting, which involves one man and one woman per country, was present only at the continental championships and the 2015 European Games in Baku.
But for starters, the shooters who came to Moscow competed for medals in individual trap competitions. The Italian team was, as always, on top. Daniele Resca won individual and team gold among men, Olympic champion 2012 Jessica Rossi became the best in the world for the third time.
“I am very happy that I won the gold medal of the World Championship. I worked very hard to achieve this result. Now I can't wait to go home to celebrate this event with my family and friends. It's my first time in Russia. I really liked it here. And here, in the Fox Hole, everything is well arranged, well organized. The shooting range is not the easiest, but very beautiful. And because of this, it is especially pleasant to win. I am happy that I am here, ”R-Sport quotes Rescu.
Russian shooters were left in the gangway without medals. Showed the best result Olympic champion 2004 Alexey Alipov. He hit 121 plates out of 125 and, along with six other athletes, had to determine the four finalists in a shootout. Alipov made two misses in the first series and immediately dropped out of further struggle, eventually finishing ninth.
“Basically, I succeeded. It was hard to catch up, given that the first day did not work out, but, in fact, I managed. I can not say that I have a claim to myself. Today I did great. Nevertheless, external factors knocked me down, prevented me. I really want to win the world championship in the trap, because I don’t have a gold medal of a personal nature in my piggy bank. And I promise you that I will do it anyway. Of course, I plan to perform in Tokyo, and then at the Olympic Games in 2024. Until that time, I’ll still shoot if I have enough health and the competition within our team that can move me does not grow up, ”Alipov shared his plans for the future after personal competitions.
In women, Ekaterina Rabaya was higher than her teammates - she was on the 25th line. However, in the mixed doubles competition in a duet with Alipov, it was not she, but Tatyana Barsuk. In this composition, they won the European Games and the European Championship, so it was logical to give them the right to fight for the first World Championship medals in the new Olympic discipline.
In qualifying, Alipov showed himself with better side- He scored 50 points out of 50 possible. Badger was able to hit 45 targets, and this result was enough to reach the semi-finals, where six hit the best teams. But then the Russians could not take either the first place to participate in a duel for gold, or the second one to compete for bronze. Australians Derek Grice and Penny Smith eventually became champions.
The only medals that the hosts got on the basis of the results of the competition in the trap stand were brought by junior Yulia Savelyeva in her age category. She became the second not only in individual starts, but also in team starts - together with Polina Knyazeva and Angelina Rudneva.
“For me, this is the last junior year. The next season is already at the adult level. I have prospects. I think I can do it at this level too. Although, of course, the competition will be much higher: there are a lot of experienced rivals. I still need to add and add, I'm ready to work hard. I will fight! I have a goal - Olympic medal", - said the 20-year-old athlete.
The next in the program of the World Cup was a double-trap, which, without Olympic prospects, was destined for a place on the periphery shooting sports. Some shooters will now have to move on to other disciplines, while others will complete their sports way. This step was taken by one of the leaders of the Russian national team, Vitaly Fokeev, who participated in four Olympics. But before that, he put a beautiful end to his career - on Tuesday he became the world champion for the second time, now celebrating his victory at native land. In qualifying, Fokeev scored not the most solid amount - 141 points, but in the final he fought to the very end and was two points ahead of the Indian Ankur Mittal.
“My career has been successful. I will most likely finish it in October. And in principle, nothing can interfere with this decision. Enough already, shot! I have all the titles - and Europe, and the world, and cups, and Cup Finals. I will be 44 years old, it's time to think about raising children. I think I will become a coach, ”said Fokeev.
Ahead of the guests of the Moscow World Cup competitions in the skete. Already now, one important conclusion can be drawn - rearrangements in the Olympic clay shooting program are unlikely to benefit the Russian team. Instead of a potential Fokeev medal, there will only be a hard fight for awards in a mixed trap tournament.
The World Championship in three trap shooting exercises (trap, double-trap and skeet) was held from September 1 to 10 at the Lisya Nora shooting complex near Moscow. The Russians won two gold, four silver and two bronze medals. The winners of the championship were Vitaly Fokeev in double trap and Nadezhda Konovalova paired with Nikolai Teply in mixed team competition in the skit.
The first in the medal standings were the shooters of the Italian team (9-6-2), the second - the Americans (5-1-6). This classification also included the world championship among juniors, which took place at the same time in the Fox Hole.
