Tokyo Olympic Games 2020: Liptak, Kostelecky and Coward-Holl

Three names along with one and only choke manufacturer stand out at the Asaka Shooting Final Range: Jiří Lipták, David Kostelecký, Matthew Coward-Holley along with Gemini Chokes! In the men's trap competition a great deal of emotion felt by all the athletes and manifold satisfactions.  

A challenge switching between broken targets and lots of slip-ups. Until the last minute, such a see-sawing pace has thus prevented even the most experienced from making predictions about the possible winner. It is precisely in this atmosphere of uncertainty that Lipták, Kostelecký and Coward-Holley, shooters who rely on our chokes, managed to emerge competing for the top placements. The Czech teammates have been vying for the first two steps of the podium: after the last series of clay targets resulting in a 43 out of 50 tied score Lipták won out, achieving his very first five-ringed medal, while Kostelecký attains silver which is added to the gold previously reached at the Beijing 2008 Olympics. We allow ourselves to nicely say “share and share alike”... well done guys!
Moreover good things come in threes! The bronze medal was gained by the Briton Matthew Coward-Holley, who proved particularly skilled in countering the shots of the Mexican Jorge Martin Orozco and not giving up in the trying moments, finishing with a score of 33 out of 40.

After Diana Bacosi's silver in skeet, Gemini gets one more time onto the podium: not with one not two but even with three athletes! Our heartiest congratulations to Jiri, David and Matthew, we are happy that you belong to our big family, which yet again is making its mark and much more besides in the current Olympics edition!
