Swiss shooters win double gold but no individual medal
Published
At a shooting sports world championship, Swiss shooters won two gold medals. However, there was no medal for Switzerland in one individual competition. The Swiss Shooting Sport Federation reported this.
In the individual competition, Slovak Patrik Jany secured the world championship title. He scored 628.3 points. Hungarian Istvan Peni took second place with 627.9 points. Chinese athlete Zhang Changhong also finished on the podium.
The narrow margin shows how close the competition was. Just a few tenths of a point decided between a medal and no medal. For the Swiss participants, this means their successes lie mainly in the team competition.
The results show the high level of competitiveness in international shooting sports. For the Swiss shooters, the goal remains to compete for medals in individual events again in the future.
