World Cup Munich - Match Division - Day Two

On Day 2 of the World Cup event, the second competition featuring the 30m Match Crossbow was on the program. Another sunny day, but this time spiced up with the famous Munich wind. Appearing subtle, but still strong enough to force the athletes to shoot very carefully and using more time and attempts. In the end, the effect on the results was less dramatic than expected.

The winning ranks were taken by the same athletes as the day before, but in slightly different order. 

Gold was awarded to Thomas Debenne (FRA) – 571 (283,288), silver to Joëlle Baumgartner (SUI) – 568 (275,293), and bronze went to Ramona Bieri (SUI) – 564 (279,285).

Also watch the actual world ranking.

The World Cup series continues next weekend in Innsbruck / AUT, this time with two more 10m competitions. Bis bald!

Second place went to Stefan Reichhuber from Germany (393), followed by another German shooter Christian Dreßel with 392 points.

In the ladies’ competition, shot on a late evening, the first two winning places go to Germany. Gold was earned by Jolanda Prinz (392), the silver medal by Britta Wolf (390). Bronze medal winner was Lisa Roettele from France with 388 points.
