Clay target shooting: Bacosi and Cainero were awaerded Olymp

Diana Bacosi and Chiara Cainero have gained the passes for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games ISSF World Cup third round. The two athletes ranked respectively second and third, defeated only by the American Rhode. The two shooters, who chose the Gemini chokes, fought till the end.

Bacosi, gold medalist at Rio 2016, qualified for the final round with an outstanding 123/125 then surrendering to the U.S.A. opponent with a score of 54/60 to 57/60. However, she attained the goal she had set during the interview she gave us during the last month of April (click here to read the interview and find out which Gemini chokes she uses).

Equally remarkable was the performance of Cainero, the Carabinieri Arm Sports Friulan athlete, who after qualifying with 120/125+2, reached the third position with a score of 44 out of 50.

Hence the two Italian athletes have brought to 6 out of 21, the number of the qualified clay target shooters for the next Olympics. Congratulations to Diana and Chiara for their excellent result: we are proud to by their side in such an important moment!
