The first ISSF Shogun World Cup of the year started in the best possible way, with a new World Record set by Russia’s Vitaly Fokeev, who won today’s Double Trap Men final also securing an Olympic Pass for London. The second Olympic Quota spot went to Great Britain’s Peter Robert Russell Wilson, from Dorset. The 25-year old athlete secured the Silver medal with a total score of 190 (142+48) hits. The young shooter, who started competing internationally just four years ago, shared the merit of today’s final with his coach, the 2004 Olympic Champion Ahmed Al Maktoum, the Prince of Dubai “When I first met him, we talked about squash.” Wilson said “He was a professional squash player, before winning the Olympics in 2004. And I was playing squash a lot.”
