Watch the full final from the first to the last shot! USA's 19-year old shooter Rachael Lynn Heiden won today's Trap Women Final, the opening match of the 2011 ISSF Shotgun World Cup in Maribor, Slovenia. The young athlete squeezed into the final by passing through a qualification shoot-off with 72+4 targets, climbing then in the lead by hitting 23 clays during the medal match. Ending up with a total of 95 hits, Heiden won her first international Gold medal, leaving her opponents two targets behind her.
The Silver medal went to the 27-year old world record holder, Slovakia's Zuzana Stefecekova, who ended up with a total score of 93 targets, after hitting 21 targets in the final.
It was a shoot-off to decide the battle for the Bronze medal. Two German teammates, Quooss and Scheibel, and China's Liu Yingzi, finished indeed tied with a total of 92 hits after a neck and neck final.
Got to shoot with Rachel a few weeks ago. What a great shooter and overall person.
