“Great organization” ISSF Vice-President Gary Anderson said. China tops the medal standings. Three records scored during the event.
The 2013 ISSF Rifle and Pistol World Cup Stage 3 was officially closed today, in Munich, Germany.
The competition took place at the 1972 Olympic Shooting Range of Munich from the 24th to the 29th of May, and saw the participation of 700+ athletes, 400+ officials, for a total number of 1200+ start in the ten Olympic events of Rifle and Pistol Shooting.
The People's Republic of China finished atop of the overall medal standings of the event, with two Gold and five Silver medals. Serbia placed in second, with two Gold and one Silver, thanks to the last-minute victory of Nemanja Mirosavljev at the 50m Rifle 3 Positions Men final, the last match of the event. Austria also finished on the podium with one Gold and one Silver medals.
A new World Record of 631.5 points was established by Hungary's Peter Sidi, who beat his own record at the 10m Air Rifle Men event on the 25th of May. Three Junior World Records were also established in these days, at the 10m Air Rifle Men Junior and at the 50m Rifle Prone Men Junior events.
“I would like to thank the German Shooting Federation and it's Vice President Wolfang Kink, the Bavarian Shooting Federation, that hosted this fine competition, and to all the official who made this possible.” Mr Gary Anderson, the ISSF Vice-President, said in his closing speech.
“And most of all, a special thank you goes to some 700+ athletes, 400+ team officials and coaches who have come here to compete in this ISSF event. It has been a great world cup! Thank you all in behalf of the ISSF!” Mr Anderson concluded.
