The first 75 targets
The Olimpica Trench chapter archived, i Paris 2024 Olympic Games they continue with the Skeet. Today first 75 qualifying targets for the men's sector. At the end of the 75 launches foreseen in the competition program, the American Vincent Hancock leads the provisional ranking. The Olympic Champion of Beijing 2008, London 2012 and Tokyo 2020 did nothing wrong and is alone at the top with the en-plein. Behind him, just one target with 74, close behind him is our Tammaro Cassandro (Carabinieri) from Capua (CE), fifth place in Tokyo 2020, the other American in the race Conner Lyn Prince, the Frenchman Eric Delaunay and Meng Yuan Lee of Taipei. False start, but great recovery, for Gabriele Rossetti. The policeman from Ponte Buggianese (PT), Olympic Champion in Rio 2016, started the competition with a zero in the first target (1 pull for fans, ed.) and continued the first series scoring two more zeros. A 22 out of 25 which does not do justice to the talent of the Tuscan shooter who, aware of not being able to make any more mistakes, closed the next two series with a perfect 50/50. His total of 72/75 places him in provisional tenth place.
“Focus on the goal”
“Tammaro (Cassandro, ed.) did well, Gabriele (rossetti, ed.) did well, and he has to do his best on Sunday, hoping that things go in the right direction - declared Technical Director Andrea Benelli at the end of the day - We can't go wrong, but we are focused on the goal." Tomorrow the race will continue with two more qualifying series and the best six will advance to the final, scheduled for 15.30 pm. The first to take to the platform will be Cassandro at 9.35 on court C, while Rossetti will shoot at 10.10 on court B. The last series for both will be at 12.20 with Cassandro on court and Rossetti on court C.
Tomorrow's program
Tomorrow there will also be a race for the women. Benelli will also have to follow them and will do so with the help of the General Secretary Mario Magnanini, here also as Deputy Head of Mission for CONI, the Athletic Trainer Fabio Partigiani and the Physiotherapist Aldo Humberto Bionda. The first to tackle the opening series will be Diana Bacosi. The Umbrian by birth and Tuscan-Lazio by adoption, Olympic champion in Rio 2016 and silver medal in Tokyo 2020, comes to this XXXIII edition of the Games with two positive results obtained in the two latest international competitions: the victory at the European Championship in Lonato del Garda in May and at the World Cup also in Lonato in June. Her first series will be at 9.00 on field B and will continue at 11.20 on field C and at 13.20 on field A. The Olympic debut series for Martina Bartolomei (Aeronautica Militare) of Laterina (AR) will be at 9.35 on field A and will continue with the second at 11.50 on field B and at 13.50 on field C (source: FITAV – Photo GMT Mezzelani).
