ISSF World Cup Final Rifle / Pistol / Shotgun · New Delhi, IND

Spain's Trap shooters Antonio Bailon (33) and Beatriz Martinez (31) barely missed the title at last month's ISSF World Championship Shotgun in Moscow. Now, a few weeks later, they finally climbed atop the Trap Mixed Team podium in New Delhi (IND), claiming the ISSF World Cup Final trophy by crushing 42 out of 50 targets.

After missing three of their first 15 targets, the two Spaniards crushed 27 of the following 28, definitely taking the lead and defending their position against the comeback of Italy's Giovanni Pellielo (47) and Jessica Rossi (25), who then finished in 2nd position with 40 hits out of 50 and the Silver medal around their neck.

'In Moscow we felt like we didn't win the Silver, but we lost the Gold,' said Martinez at the end of the medal ceremony. 'That's what they used to say in Spain after the World Championship.'

'It feels great, it's a liberation. We finally made it!' She concluded. 'We didn't train specifically for this final, it was our first time ever with this format.'

The Bronze medal was awarded to United States' Derek Haldeman (26) and Ashley Carroll (22), who doubled the result they nailed in Moscow, crushing 31 out of 40 targets and placing 3rd..
