2019 Italian Skeet Shooting Championship: Simeone becomes Na

The summer season ended with the finals of the Italian Trap and Skeet Championships at Trap Concaverde in Lonato del Garda. The Brescia based shooting range platform has seen several shooters using our chokes, either achieve a place for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics or wear a new medal around their neck in recent months: among them, Domenico Simeone, who was the last one only in order of qualification awarding, and managed to become Skeet National Champion in the Eccellenza class (ed. the highest one of the Italian Shooting Federation)!

About three hundred athletes who gathered so as to win the coveted titles of the two disciplines which, for the very first time, were conferred simultaneously on the same field. As for skeet, Simeone was the protagonist of a very high level final. With dorsal number three, the Italian Police Sports Body athlete hailing from Baia e Latina (province of Caserta - CE) measured swords against Luigi Lodde the service man, who recently became World Champion in Lathi so as to reach the top step of the podium. Yet the title of the rival did not overwave Simeone who, with an almost perfect 58 out of 60, succeeded in defeating his opponent, native of Orzieri, by two targets of advantage over the latter, thus attaining the tricouloured achievement.

A further medal besides the golden ones gained at the 2013 World Junior Championships, the 2013 European Junior Championships as well as the 2015/2016 National Championships. An “amazing” and steadily improving path performed by Domenico, who is moreover going to represent Italy in the mixed team at the upcoming Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. We congratulate the newly awarded tricoulour champion and break a leg as for your athletic training!
