Congratulations Adam Vella and Russell Mark
Gold and Silver Medalists at the Beijing World Cup
April 2010


Adam Vella has won the Shooting World Cup trap gold in Beijing. Adam, who won an Olympic Bronze medal at the 2004 Olympics held in Athens, scored 143 to reach the top ahead of the three Olympic gold medalists. Alex Alipov of Russia, who won the Olympic Gold medal in 2004, lost to Adam by four points.

Despite numerous” no birds” in the final round, Adam retained his focus to shoot 22 clays out of 25 adding his total to score 143 - securing the top spot.

Russell Mark, former Olympic gold medallist, made an outstanding comeback to international shooting to win the double trap silver medal at the World Cup in Beijing.

Mark was narrowly beaten in the double trap competition by Mo Junjie from China who is 24 years his junior.

After a world class score of 145 out of a possible 150, Mark declared his intention to compete at the Olympics in London in 2012 and also at the Commonwealth Games in India later this year.
