Richard Faulds completed the World Cup season with his third medal of the year, taking the Silver at the fourth and final event in Belgrade. A qualification round of 145 took him into the final in second place, behind Ronjan Sodhi of India, who equalled the World Record with 147. Faulds and Sodhi both shot finals of 47, Sodhi adding an equal Final World Record to his name, leaving Richard to take the Silver, one ahead of Hakan Dahlby of Sweden. Richard is the only shooter to have qualified for the final in all four World Cups, and narrowly missed out on a full set of medals, coming fourth at the first World Cup in Beijing back in April. He now plans to rest before the Olympic Games, and has withdrawn from the forthcoming European Championships in order to complete his final preparations for August.  Faulds also took Bronze in the team event, alongside Steven Scott and Peter Wilson, while Stevan Walton shot a Personal Best of 144 in the MQS match. In the Trap event David Kirk was unfortunate to miss out on the final, ending up eighth with 119 after a five-way tie shoot for the sixth place in the final.  |
