#Rio2016 - Endless emotions at the Deodoro Olympic Shooting Center in Rio de Janiero. It's time for the Double Trap but the music is always the same. A precious medal that enriches the Beretta medal collection, now at 2 Gold and 3 Silver. Marco Innocenti, an athlete linked to Beretta double-handed both for his sporting activity and for being the owner of one of the most important Italian armories, graduated Olympic Vice-Champion, after a very tough race marked by wind and rain.
150 fire plates for the champion from Montemurlo who was able to crumble 136 with stubbornness and precision. Fifth after qualifying, Marco had to see it in the semi-final against the best man records of the Double-Trap: 2 English, 1 Australian, 1 Kuwaiti and 1 German in a crescendo of emotions and intensity where Marco gave the better than if. The scoreboard reported that with his 27 targets out of 30 his score was valid for the Gold Medal Match. And only an infallible Aldeehani, the only finalist also in London 2012, to win for only two targets.
Carlo Ferlito, reached on the phone, commented: “I attended the final from home. I suffered, I got excited and in the end I shed tears of joy for Marco, a friend and great professional of our gun world. It is wonderful that our 5 medal still has the colors of the Italian flag. I thank all my collaborators who in Gun Service and in the production departments work every day to allow these successes to be realized. "
