SSAI Membership

The NTSA regret to announce that it has withdrawn from the SSAI. This decision was not reached lightly, but after careful consideration of the resources expended against very limited returns. It was felt that these resources would be better directed towards the NTSA's own core activities. The committee of the NTSA wish to thank all the SSAI committee members with whom they have worked closely over the years and of course will continue to work with within the framework of the FCP.

10m Women's Air Pistol

Written by Mark Dennehy

Sunday, 15 August 2004

An exciting final today in the Women's Air Pistol event, with a major upset when the Ukranian Olena Kostevych came from eight place in the finals to take the Gold medal. As the scores show, Olena came into the finals on 384, at the bottom of the finals heap, but held her nerve to claw past all seven others in the finals and equal Serbian shooter Jasna Sekaric's score. A shoot-off was held for the Gold medal and Olena's 10.2 was sufficent to beat Jasna's 9.4.

Not to be outdone for the tension stakes, Bulgarian Maria Grozdeva and Chinese shooter Ren Jie also had a shoot-off for the Bronze medal, with the Bulgarian's 10,4 beating Jie's 9.7 to take the medal.

And since everyone else was doing it, Russia's Natalie Paderina and Germany's Munkhbayar Dorjsuren had a shoot-off for fifth place, with Natalie's 10.0 beating Munkhbayar's 9.3.

So a slightly longer than normal finals :)
