Highlights - Clay targets where surfing on the wind, at today's Trap Women event, at the ISSF World Cup in all events taking place on the Olympic layouts of the Royal Artillery Barracks. The strong wind affected the final match, where the six finalists dropped 52 out of 150 targets, more than one third of the thrown clays. Two shooters battled for the Gold medal right to the last clay, in spite of the wind. Russia's 2002 World Champion Elena Tkach , 41, and Spain's reigning European Champion Fatima Galvez, 25.
Eventually, It was Spain's Galvez who finished on the highest step of the podium, winning the Gold medal with an overall score of 89 hits, after hitting 20 out of 25 final targets. Galvez, a 2011 European Champion, had never won an ISSF Gold medal before. At the same time, Tkach was left in second with the Silver medal and an overall score of 88 targets. The Bronze medal went to Kyle Browning of the United States of America. Gale-force winds affected the final of the 2008 Olympic Silver medallist Stefecekova. The same happened to the first time finalist Marika Salmi of Finland, fifth with 82 hits after scoring 14 in the final, and to the 22-year old Italian shooter Federica Caporuscio, sixth with 81 targets after hitting 13 in the final.
