2011 Combined WC2 Sydney Highlights – 2011 ISSF WORLD CUP SERIES

The 2011 ISSF World Cup Season proceeded with a Combined Stage that took place at the 2000 Olympic Shooting Range of Sydney, Australia, from the 21st to the 31st of March. A World Cup Stage that put a new milestone in the ISSF history, as the ISSF President, Mr Olegario Vazquez Raña, said. It has been “record event”, as the ISSF Secretary General Franz Schreiber called it, with more than 700 athletes participating in the fifteen Olympic events of Rifle, Pistol and Shotgun Shooting. More than 1000 starts were indeed recorded in Sydney, making of it the biggest ISSF World Cup event ever, with athletes coming from 68 different nations. In this city, on these targets, true champions wrote a piece of the Olympic history, eleven years ago. And on these targets, today, a new generation of athletes tried to work its way through the next 2012 London Games, to keep on writing new Olympic milestones
