Zublasing comes away empty-handed at the start of the World Cup

On Sunday around lunchtime, or early Sunday morning (CEST), Petra Zublasing's first competition at the 52nd World Shooting Championships in South Korea was on the program. In the air rifle mixed team competition she competed with Lorenzo Bacci for the “Azzurri”. Although the two were among the advanced medal contenders, they clearly missed out on a top placement, as they did at the last World Cup together (at that time they had to settle for 17th place).

With 831,5 points, the duo that started for Italy 1 ended up in 26th place. While Zublasing was able to get 416,2 points in the four shooting series, Lorenzo Bacci only had 414,6. Both appeared unsure at the shooting range. The “Azzurri” clearly missed the final of the best 5 teams. China 2 achieved the best result in the qualification with 840,5 points.

The Chinese then dominated in the final. The title went to China 2 with Ruozhu Zhao and Haoran Yang ahead of China 1 with Minyang Wu and Buhan Song. Bronze went to Russia 1 with Anastasiia Galashina and Vladimir Maslennikov.

Next chance on Monday Zublasing made her first solo appearance on Monday with the air rifle. Qualification and finals will take place early Monday morning European time. Zublasing is the only South Tyrolean at the start. Zublasing wants to defend her title from 2014. In Granada, Spain, she won gold in the air rifle at the last World Championships and celebrated the greatest success of her career. This time the individual disciplines are also about the Olympics. The top 4 solve the ticket.

On Saturday, September 8th, the KK three-position fight is on the program. In addition to Zublasing, Barbara Gambaro from Schlanders and Simon Weithaler from Naturno will also be competing (the men will compete on Friday, September 7th).

Weithaler and Gambaro will also compete in the non-Olympic prone shooting on Tuesday and Wednesday. Georg Unterpertinger from Auer is taking part in the Target Sprint, which is part of the World Cup program for the first time. The individual competition will take place on September 12th, followed by the team event the next day.
