Neil Stirton heads for Bangkok on Tuesday to compete in the prestigious World Cup Final competition. This event, held annually, features a elite field of 12 athletes in each Olympic rifle and pistol event. In each event, eight athletes qualified from the World Cup matches held in the spring, and are joined by the three medalists from the Beijing Olympic Games and the World Cup Final winner from the previous year. Neil will compete in the Men's Prone event, in which he won a Silver medal at the third World Cup of 2008 in Munich, and leaves the UK on Tuesday along with coach Donald McIntosh. The Men's Prone is scheduled for the 3rd of November, and will be shown on ISSF.TV. |

We have been informed that Shooting has been removed from the sports programme for the 2009 World University Games in Belgrade. At a meeting of the FISU Executive Committee over the weekend agreement was reached with the Organising Committee of the 25th World University Games to remove six sports from the programme due to the current financial crisis. This is clearly a deeply regrettable outcome for Shooting, and we remain committed to supporting future World University Games and World University Shooting Championships where appropriate within the Performance Plan. |
