<strong>WCF</strong> BEIJING LIU WINS IN THE FREEZING GOLD The Trap Women’s Finalist faced the snow that covered the Olympic Clay Target Field of Beijing, fighting against the snowflakes that reduced the visibility during the qualifications, and the bothersome reflection of the sun on the snow during the final round. The difficult conditions turned into an advantage for the home shooter, China’s 2007 World Champion Liu Yingzi, who won the Gold with no hesitations, defeating her frozen opponents. The 38-year old shooter climbed to the lead since the first qualification round in the morning, when the snowfall made it difficult to see the targets coming out of the traps, and walked into the final with a consistent advantage of seven targets over the other finalists. None of her opponents could catch up with her: the Chinese shooter carefully managed her head start, never jeopardizing her leadership. While the other finalists missed a consistent number of clays, she shot 15 targets, stepping up the highest step of the podium with a total score of 84 hits (69+15). Liu fin- 24 ISSF NEWS ❆ GOLD LIU, Yingzi (CHN) ished in third place at the 2007 World Cup Final and in second at last year’s Final in Minsk, and this title was the second best success in her career after the World Championship Gold medal she won in 2007. Slovakia’s Zuzana Stefecekova placed in second, earning Silver, five targets behind Liu. The Olympic Silver medalist of Beijing began at fifth place after the qualification rounds, later on defeating the other finalists and finally winning Silver with a total score of 79 hits. Stefecekova fired the highest score of the final, 18 hits, but her qualification score of 61 targets placed her far behind Gold medalist Liu. The Slovakian shooter won the 2004 World Cup Final in Maribor, and then placed in second at the 2006 World Cup Final in Granada. During the final, the tables were turned due to weather conditions and this factor gave an edge to those shooters used to compete in colder weather conditions. Following domestic shooter Liu and Slovakia’s Stefecekova, the Bronze medal went to Olympic Champion Satu Makela-Nummela, accustomed to training under these weather conditions.

As she tied Germany’s Susanne Kiermayer, both shooters had to participate in a shoot-off to determine the Bronze medal. Kiermayer missed her clay between the snowflakes, thus allowing the Olympic Champion to win the Bronze with a total score of 75+1 hits. At the same time, the snow reduced the chances for victory to zero for 17-year old World Champion, Italy’s Jessica Rossi, competing in her first ISSF World Cup Final. Rossi, one of the shooters who was considered a favorite to end up on the Beijing podium, struggled throughout the entire final, clearly affected by the freezing wind blowing on the range and the visibility problems. “It was extremely cold, not to talk about the visibility, and the flash targets used in this final were really hard to brake. I am not used to shooting in such conditions,” said Rossi, who hit 9 out of the 25 targets through the final round, placing in fifth with a total of 72+1 hits and defeating China’s Lu Xingyu in a shoot-off.
