Prelude to 2008 Olympic Trap Competition?

2008 Bejing OlympicsA few week ago at the 2008 ISSF World Cup for Shotgun in Suhl, Germany, Australia's Michael Diamond (two-time Olympic gold medalist) broke 145 targets for the gold medal; Bret Erickson of the US (Don’t Mess with Texas) claimed the silver with 144; and the bronze went to Russia's Alexey Alipov, the 2004 Olympic gold medalist, with 143 targets broke. Italy's Daniele Resca finished in fourth. Bostjan Macek of Slovenia and Marian Kovacocy of Slovakia tied for fifth with 141 targets each and in a shoot-off, Macek bested Kovacocy and took fifth while Kovacocy finished sixth. It looks like Erickson is a real contender for trap gold in China this year.
