It was a cautious restart, rightly respectful of the regulations related to the health emergency, but equally expected and important. The name of the winner of the "Shooter of May", the first initiative put in place by Trap Concaverde of Lonato at the reopening of the structures dedicated to skeet shooting, is that of Brescia Luca Miotto, athlete for some time in the orbit of the Italian national team. The shooter under the Carabinieri Sports Group, based on the results recorded via the Shooting Data app among those who trained on the Gardesane platforms, therefore not in a competition with the traditional formula but during the "test shots" allowed in May and recorded in the application database, he overtook all the other opponents thanks to the score of 148 out of 150 in their best six training sets.
“The past period, as an Italian citizen, was very difficult. We all had to resize our lives and live with an invisible, ruthless and not yet defeated enemy - explained Miotto - It was just as difficult as an athlete. From a sporting point of view, being deprived of our greatest passion was a pain. This is why returning to the platform was a wonderful experience. It was like reliving the emotions experienced the first few times I shot. After such a long pause, I had almost forgotten the scent of the grass in the shooting ranges or the sound of the cartridge as it comes out of the barrel. Details that, together with many others, make our sport unique. While waiting to compete directly against the other shooters, I am very pleased to have won this competition "from a distance". We hope to continue in the same way over the next few months ».
"We are happy with the new start after the long period of lock down - underlined Ivan Carella, president of Trap Concaverde - Now the important thing is to be able to reschedule the competition calendar. Our athletes are trampling to return to being protagonists of all those beautiful events that this year, unfortunately, will have to be modified and adapted to the unexpected needs. With the help of the Federation and the companies that have always supported us, combined with the passion that has always characterized those who practice our sport, I am convinced that we will be able to present a captivating and interesting calendar ».
The first real competition, without prejudice to the provisions of the current and future Prime Ministerial Decree, it is currently set for Saturday 20 June. "The title of this sporting event will be We Will Win, We will win - explained Carella - Thanks to the collaboration of some satellite companies that train on our field (CAS Concaverde, Top Ten, Poggio dei Castagni and TAV Concaverde) it was possible organize this race, at the end of which an olive tree will be planted near the podium as a symbol of rebirth and restart in 2020 ».
