2019 World Trapshooting Championships in Lonato Del Garda: M

Matias Koivu, a Finnish shooter born in 1999 using our chokes, ranked second in the Trap Men Junior Final held in Lonato del Garda (province of Brescia) World Trapshooting Championships.

After leading the competition for a long time, Koivu found himself in trouble during the final phase hitting only four clay targets out of the last ten ones, thus favouring the come back and overtaking by the Brazilian Leonardo Lustoza; the latter managed to climb onto the top step of the podium attaining a score of 45 out of 50, compared to the final score of 42 out of 50 of our Finnish shooter.
The bronze medal was won by the Slovenian Rene Macek (36/40).

We are glad that Matias has obtained this medal, despite the regret for the missed opportunity … don't give up, it's a long way up and you will have manifold chances to turn the tables!
