Young shooters, new World Records: Sidi and 3 Under-21s

4 new World Records: this is what has happened at the ISSF Rifle and Pistol World Cup held in Munich (GER) and ended just today.

Peter Sidi had a great 633.5-point score at the 10m Men's Air Rifle qualifications, enough to beat the previous World Record (631.9) he was holding. In the same event, the 17-year-old Yang Haoran scored 628.9 points, setting a new Junior World Record. Later on – in the final round - the Hungary's shooter won the Silver medal, while China's Yang made it to the Gold – giving a first hint of what the Chinese Team would have eventually done throughout the competition.

One record after the other (both Junior) were scored at the 50m Men's Rifle Prone final: Joni Stenstrom (cohort 1994) – of Finland - first got a new World Record (613.9 points), but was then surpassed by Ukraine's Serhiy Kulish (1993) and his 616.8-point score.

Definitely a good job from the younger athletes of the competition - the (present) and future of shooting sport.
