(ANSA) – CAIRO, FEBRUARY 28 – The first ‘stage’ of the Shooting World Cup, underway in Cairo, begins in the name of Italy. In fact, the 20-year-old Italian Danilo Dennis Sollazzo, considered by some to be the ‘new Campriani’, won in the 10-meter men’s rifle test, who beat Slovakian Patrik Jany 16-14 in the final. Sollazzo, from Varese from Casorate, last year had won gold at the junior European championships and today he also imposed himself among the ‘big ones’.
Despite the IOC’s invitation to ban Russian athletes, two shooters of that nationality also took part in the competition, Vladimir Maslennikov and Sergey Kamenskiy, both of whom were eliminated in the semifinals. It should be remembered that the president of ISSF, the world shooting organization, is the Russian tycoon Vladimir Lisin, who in 2013 Forbes reported as the richest man in the country than him.
On the other hand, the other two Italians who took part in the test, Riccardo Armiraglio, 19 / o with 627.8, and Giuseppe Pio Capano, 54 / o with 622.7, have been out since qualifying. (HANDLE).
