The Chinese team won the overall medal standings of the 2009 ISSF World Cup Final in Shotgun events of Beijing. The home shooters made it to the top of the final rankings with two Gold and one Silver medals. The youngest Double Trap participant, Mo Junjie, secured the first Gold medal for the hosts, followed by his experienced teammate Liu Yingzi, who claimed Gold at the Trap Women final in spite of the severe weather conditions.
Three nations, Australia, France and Germany, tied in second place with one Gold medal each. It was the two-time Olympic Gold medallist Michael Diamond to bring Australia onto the overall medal standings, winning the Trap Men event in the coldest day of competition.
Beijing Olympic Bronze medallist, the France shooter Anthony Terras, claimed Gold at today’s Skeet Men event, climbing Beijing’s podium once more, 15 months after the Games.
Germany also made it to the podium, thanks to the Gold medal won by Christine Wenzel (Christine Brinker, before getting married, last September) at the Skeet Women competition.
