1 Gold and 2 Silver to the American Champion. “This has been a successful competition!” The ISSF Technical Delegate, Demetris Lordos, said.

Today’s Skeet Men event won by Andres Golding of Denmark concluded the 2012 ISSF Shotgun World Cup Final in Maribor, Slovenia.

The competition, which run from the 21st through the 25th of September at the Gaj Maribor Shooting Centre, saw the participation of 57 international athletes coming from 28 countries, competing in the five Olympic shooting events.

 

Only the bests were invited here in Maribor: the Olympic medallists of London 2012 met the title defenders of the 2011 WCF in Al Ain, and the top-8 shooters selected throughout this year’s ISSF World Cup Stages in USA, Great Britain and Italy.

 

“In behalf of the ISSF President, Mr. Olegario Vazquez Raña, and of the ISSF Secretary General Franz Schreiber, I would like to thank the Organizing Committee of this competition, and it’s President, Mr. Igor Ragusa.” The ISSF Technical Delegate for this event, Mr. Demetris Lordos of Cyprus said, officially closing the competition.

 

“It has been pleasure to host such a successful competition.” Mr. Ragusa said at the closing ceremony. “I would like to thank all the officials, referees, athletes, media and volunteers for making it possible.”

 

The United States of America placed atop of the medal standings of the 2012 ISSF World Cup Final, pocketing one Gold medal (won by Joshua Richmond at the Double Trap event), and two Silver medals (Hancock at the Skeet Men, and Drodz at the Skeet Women event). Four nations (Denmark, Finland, Slovakia and Turkey) tied in second place, with one Gold medal each.

 

Maribor’s ISSF World Cup Final concluded this year’s Shotgun season. Over 650 shooters coming from 85 nations participated in this year’s ISSF World Cup Series, which kicked-off last March in Tucson, Arizona, and then proceeded to London and then to Lonato, Italy, in May.
