Thus, the Russian bullets showed the best result in Rio over the past 12 years: in London, the team did not have a single medal, in Beijing - two silvers and one bronze.
The head of the SSR: Olympic Games showed that the national team has problems with clay shootingShooting competitions are held at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro from 6 to 14 August. In trap shooting, the Russians did not reach the finals in any of the four exercises, only one type remained in the program - the male skeet.In terms of the number of medals in bullet shooting, the Russian team lost only to the Chinese (seven awards).

Fehaid al-Dikhani from Kuwait, who, due to the disqualification of the National Olympic Committee, competed in Brazil under the flag of the International Olympic Committee, won the exercise "double trap" and became the first independent athlete in history - Olympic champion.
The first place in the medal standings among the bullets was taken by the German team (three gold medals and one silver), among the standers - the Italian team (two golds and three silvers).
Rio lights new stars
If on the first competitive day at the Olympics in Brazil, the Russians could not win medals (Daria Vdovina and Vladimir Goncharov made it to the final, but took fifth and seventh places, respectively, and technical problems prevented two-time bronze medalist Vladimir Isakov from reaching the final), then a day later appeared in world shooting new star: Vitalina Batsarashkina.
First, the 19-year-old athlete, who had previously taken part only in several stages of the World Cup at the adult level, took first place in the qualification (another Russian woman, Ekaterina Korshunova, became the second), and then confidently worked out the final, sensationally winning silver medals. "I am satisfied with the second place, I did everything I could. It is still difficult to fight the Chinese. Moreover, the Chinese Zhang Mengxue won with a record Olympic finals", - said Batsarashkina.
The very next day, Russian bullets got their second medal in Rio. The bronze medal in air rifle shooting was won by 21-year-old Vladimir Maslennikov, who only started competing at the senior level last year. “To achieve this result, I had to put in a lot of effort,” said Maslennikov. “Emotions overflow, too many emotions. I dedicate the medal to my small town of Lesnoy, in which 50,000 people live.”
In shooting from a small-caliber pistol for women, Korshunova got very close to the podium, but stopped at the fifth line. "In general, for the first Olympics, two finals (small-caliber and air pistol) are successful outcome. Still, I don’t have enough experience, I need to participate more in competitions of such a large level, ”said Korshunova.
Vladimir Goncharov, for whom the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro was the first after the 2000 Games, took sixth place in shooting from a small-caliber pistol. “Participation in two finals at the Olympics is important, of course, but I came to Rio for medals,” said Goncharov. “This year it was decided that we would prepare for the Olympics at home without international starts. Given the result, we can say that there was not quite the right tactic was chosen. You need to pay attention to this, trips are needed, home training alone is not enough. "
The third medal for the Russian team in shooting was won by 24-year-old Kirill Grigoryan, who won bronze in prone shooting from a small-caliber rifle from 50 meters. “I’m glad for bronze, but there is a little disappointment, I could rise higher. Excitement prevented me - it seems that I am calm. It’s hard to fight emotions, excitement overwhelmed me, I fired two unsuccessful shots - and that’s all: I’m only the third,” said Grigoryan.
Sad for the veterans, happy for the youth
The penultimate competitive day brought one of the most unexpected results of the tournament. In shooting from a rapid-fire pistol from a distance of 25 meters, the Olympic record holder Alexei Klimov could not correct the situation in which he found himself after an unsuccessful first day of qualification, and became only ninth.
“One word - sadness, now I feel only sadness and sadness,” Klimov said. “I feel so sorry for myself, just some kind of horror in my head, a hurricane of emotions and nothing good. "I couldn't cope with myself. I got worried, fussed, got agitated - and everything went wrong. It's very sad, sad for the veterans, for myself, and the victories of the young guys are a consolation, these are hopes. It's good that we have medals, and they are taken the youth".
The fourth medal in shooting on Russia's last day of competition came from another Olympic debutant: 28-year-old Sergei Kamensky. A native of Biysk qualified for the final with an Olympic record, and another Russian, Fedor Vlasov, also made it to the top eight following the results of the qualification.
In the final, after two positions, Kamensky shared first place with the current Olympic champion Niccolò Campriani, who was among the participants in the final only by additional indicators, and Vlasov was third. With the second shot from a standing position, Vlasov hit "5.7", which pushed him back to seventh place, and the Russian dropped out of the fight. Kamensky was in first place until the last shot in the final. When Campriani hit "9.2" with the last shot, the Italian could only shrug his hands, and Kamensky hit "nine" (even "8.7" was enough), but the Russian hit "8.3" and missed gold, which could become for Russian shooters first in 12 years.
“Nightmare, I don’t know how this could happen,” said Evgeny Krainov, head coach of the Russian national shooting team. “Campriani himself has already resigned himself to the fact that he lost, the gold was already presented to us by the Italian, it remained to take it, and we turned out to be even warmer than Campriani, gave him a great gift."
Kamensky admitted that he does not consider his silver "bitter". “I am quite happy, I am very pleased with my performance in the final. good shooting until the last shots, when he could not cope with his emotions. On the whole, I'm glad. In fact, losing gold with one shot is easy, in general, as easy as shelling pears! Maybe it looks difficult, but in fact it is easy, because on the last shots, emotions reach such a climax that, honestly, you can not hit the target. It's actually like a lottery," Kamensky said.
Summing up the performance of the Russian team in bullet shooting at the Olympics in Brazil, President of the Russian Shooting Union Vladimir Lisin noted that Russian team"ranks among the world's leading shooters." "In ten exercises in bullet shooting, we had eleven people participating in the finals. Many federations measure the effectiveness of their training precisely by the number of reaching the final, because the final itself is already a small lottery. It's good that there are so many reaching the final, we are pleased with the results, and especially the fact that we have young people — this is the most interesting thing," Lisin said.
Bench shooting: "zeros" for Russia
A much less joyful picture was presented in Brazil by Russian standers. In none of the five exercises, the Russians did not reach the final, although in two cases they were very close: Albina Shakirova (skit) participated in a shootout for the last ticket to the final, and the 2004 Olympic champion Alexei Alipov (trap) finished seventh in qualifying ( the top six advance to the final).
In the men's skete, Anton Astakhov took 12th place in the qualification, in the women's skeet, Tatyana Barsuk became 18th, and Ekaterina Rabaya - 11th. The main disappointment was the performance of the Russian stand-ups in the double-trap exercise, where the bronze medalist of the Games in London Vasily Mosin and Vitaly Fokeev, world champion in 2006 and winner of the European Games in 2015, did not qualify for the final. “First of all, I want to apologize to those who believed in me. I invested my faith, energy, desire. Unfortunately, today I was not able to make my old dream come true. She moved a little away - for four years. I think that we will still complete this hunt successfully," Mosin said.
“The performance in clay shooting showed that there are problems, we have questions. It’s hard to say why this happened. Let’s return to the analysis of the preparation, see where we didn’t do it. This is already such a routine part, after the Olympics there will be time to think. You see that the generational change is going on.Veterans did not show themselves at all, unfortunately, and the young guys got good school", - said Vladimir Lisin.

Heidi Diethelm Gerberg In the evening, Prince Andrei and Pierre got into a carriage and drove to the Bald Mountains. Prince Andrei, looking at Pierre, occasionally interrupted the silence with speeches that proved that he was in a good mood. It was already getting dark when Prince Andrei and Pierre drove up to the main entrance of the Lysogorsky house. While they were driving up, Prince Andrei with a smile drew Pierre's attention to the turmoil that had taken place at the back porch. A bent old woman with a knapsack on her back, and a short man in a black robe and with long hair, seeing a carriage driving in, rushed to run back through the gate. Two women ran after them, and all four, looking back at the carriage, ran frightened up the back porch. |
RIO-2016 Bullet and bench shooting
At the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, 10 sets of medals will be played - six for men and four for women. Petersburgers Vladimir Goncharov and Kirill Grigoryan will take part in the competition.
bullet shooting
Without a single miss
The initiator of inclusion in Olympic program the gunner was Baron Pierre de Coubertin. The founder of the modern Olympic Games was a seven-time French champion in pistol shooting. At the Games of the I Olympiad, shooters competed in five types, competitions were held at a new shooting range specially built for the Games of 1896 in the city of Kallithea, now a “sleeping” area of Athens. Tire was solemnly opened on April 8 in the presence of Queen Olga of Greece, the granddaughter of the Russian Emperor Nicholas I.
The first winners were determined the next day in a dispute between shooters from an army rifle at 200 meters. The counting system differed from that established in subsequent years. In each series, the points scored by the shooter were multiplied by the number of hits on the target, this result was one of the four parts of the total amount, which significantly increased the importance of accurate shooting, because misses reduced the multiplier. At the end of the competition, it turned out that only one participant, Pantelis Karasevdas, a law student in Athens, successfully shot all 40 times at a black target with a white center and won with a total of 2320 points. Pantelis, a young athlete born in 1877, was also a swimmer and athletics, but at the Athens Games he performed only in shooting. Shooting from an army rifle at 300 m, he took fifth place, and in shooting from a revolver at 25 m he did not finish the competition. One year after Olympic victory Karasevdas joined the army, participated in various military operations and rose to a high officer rank. No less intense was his political activity - former athlete was elected to parliament. For ten years, Karasevdas was a member of the National Olympic Committee, headed the Greek Gymnastics Association. In the 1920s he was president football club Panathinaikos. The first Olympic champion in shooting died in March 1946 in Agrinion. One of the streets in this city bears the name of Karasevdas.
Overcome severe trials
The list of our Olympic champions in shooting was opened on July 27, 1952 at the Games in Helsinki by Anatoly Bogdanov. A soldier from the Moscow region outperformed three dozen rivals in 300 m freestyle rifle shooting in three series of 40 shots. The 21-year-old shooter set an Olympic record - 1123 points (standing - 359, kneeling - 376, prone - 388). At the shooting range in the town of Malmi, where the airport of the Finnish capital was located at that time, Bogdanov and the winner of the world championships Swiss Robert Buerchler were located in neighboring positions. Bogdanov's advantage in shooting from a standing position was 9 points, in shooting from a knee, Bürchler set a world record (381 points), and in a prone position he knocked out a point more than a Soviet athlete. But in total, according to the results of the six-hour struggle, Bogdanov was ahead of his competitor by three points. Four years later, in Melbourne, Anatoly won the second gold Olympic medal, becoming the strongest in shooting from a small-caliber rifle at 50 m (3 x 40 shots).
At the end sports career Bogdanov studied at the Military-Political Academy named after V. I. Lenin, for a long time he taught at military universities. An outstanding shooter, the author of the book "I See the Target" Anatoly Ivanovich Bogdanov passed away in September 2001.
Both champion and record holder
The victorious success in Melbourne of Anatoly Bogdanov in shooting from a small-caliber rifle at 50 m in three series of 40 shots was continued at the 1960 Games in the same discipline by Viktor Shamburkin. On September 8, at the Umberto I shooting range in Rome, he won gold with a world record of 1149 points (394 lying down, 386 kneeling, 369 standing). Shamburkin was the first of the Leningrad shooters to achieve the title of Olympic champion. In the qualifying competitions, the representative of DOSAAF, the 1958 world champion, took second place in his group of 38 athletes, scoring 562 points (197 + 189 + 176) out of 600 possible, and in the final he was four points ahead of Marat Niyazov from Ashgabat, who became the silver medalist. It should be noted that in comparison with the previous Olympic tournament, the diameter of the target in the Roman competitions was almost 4 cm smaller.
Born in October 1931 in Leningrad, Viktor Shamburkin also participated in the Olympic Games in Tokyo, but did not get into the prize-winners. Subsequently, a graduate of the Lesgaft Institute was the head coach of the national team Soviet Union. Under the guidance of the honored coach of the USSR, the combined team also performed at the 1992 Olympics. Since 1970, Viktor Nikolaevich has been living in Moscow.
Target shooting
Five sets of awards will be played at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro - three for men and two for women. St. Petersburg stand-builders will not take part in the Games.
Accurate Frenchman
Clay shooting was first introduced at the II Olympiad in Paris in 1900. Then the competitions were held simultaneously with the World Exhibition, and only a part of the shooting competitions held was later recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) as part of the official program of the Games. So, the exotic variety has disappeared trap shooting- live pigeons. They were shot at in a three-day competition at the end of June. But the competition in clay pigeon target shooting, held at the shooting stand on the island of Segen from July 15 to 17, received Olympic status. The winner in a dispute between rivals from five countries, 40-year-old French shooter Roger de Barbarin became the first Olympic champion in clay shooting. The black mustache beat 18-year-old Belgian René Guyau in the shootout (13-12) as each had seventeen shots out of twenty in the main competition. Interestingly, the third winner was the same age as the champion - the French count Justinian de Clary, one of the organizers of this competition. He subsequently became president Olympic Committee France, was a member of the IOC for 14 years and ran for the presidency of this supreme governing body of the Olympic movement.
A native of Paris, Roger de Barbarin was the son of the artist Thomas de Barbarin and the cousin of the inventor of the adding machine, Thomas Colmar. He died in the French capital in March 1925.
First on skeet
Of the athletes of our country, the first to win the highest Olympic award in clay shooting was the Moscow soldier Evgeny Petrov. On October 22, 1968, at the Olympic Games in Mexico City at the shooting range of Vicente Suarez, the 30-year-old athlete became the champion in shooting on a round stand. During the two-day competition, he broke 198 cymbals out of 200 (Olympic record), and his series was expressed by the results: 24, 25, 25, 24, 25, 25, 25, 25. In the shootout for 1 - 3 places, hitting 25 targets , Petrov was one point ahead of the Italian Romano Garagnani and Konrad Virnheer from Germany.
The Olympic competitions were held on a round stand for the first time. Here, the cymbals appear from two points, and the shooting numbers are located along the segment of the circle. The gun is held with the butt under the arm, raised only when a target appears. Petrov opened the list of winners in this type of clay shooting. Four years later, in Munich, he achieved another medal in her - a silver one. In 1970, Eugene set an absolute world record - 200 out of 200.
Later, the Honored Coach of the USSR Evgeny Aleksandrovich Petrov was the head coach of the national team and the head coach of the combined team in clay shooting at the 1992 Olympics. He was awarded the gold medal of the International Shooting Union. Lives in Moscow.
"Bronze" Leningrader
A significant Olympic achievement of the stand-builders of the city on the Neva is the bronze medal of Sergei Kalinin in 1960 in Rome on a trench stand. Other representatives of the Leningrad-Petersburg trap shooting Olympic awards did not achieve. On September 9, at the Lazio booth in the center of the Italian capital, the 33-year-old Leningrad soldier finished the competition in the final as a bronze medalist. Kalinin scored 190 points (1st day - 99, 2nd - 91). He also participated in the 1964 Olympic Games in Tokyo, but there he limited himself to 22nd place. A native of Yaroslavl Sergey Alekseevich Kalinin, a participant in the Great Patriotic War, twice became the world champion. At the end of his sports career, he worked as a coach. The Olympic medalist passed away in October 1997.
