RIO DE JANEIRO WILL HOST THE ISSF WORLD CUP IN APRIL
Rio de Janeiro will host the ISSF World Cup in the Rifle and Pistol disciplines. The Cup will be held at the Centro Militar de Tiro Esportivo, in Rio de Janeiro, the same location as the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, from April 9 to 19. The World Cup will be a test competition for the new rules and formats defined by the ISSF (International Shooting Sport Federation).
In addition, the athletes’ results will be valid for the ISSF ranking, which will rank the best for the ISSF President’s Cup 2022 scheduled for later this year. This competition will award the best athletes of the year with the Golden Target.
“Hosting the World Cup in the country proves the respect and prestige that the ISSF has for Brazil, especially for the Confederation and the Brazil Olympic Committee, which is once again supporting us. I can guarantee that it will be a great opportunity for our athletes, who train in the ranges where the World Cup will be held, and also for the new generation to closely follow the best of Brazil and the world. It is a great achievement for sport shooting and for Brazilian sport”, says the president of the Brazilian Sport Shooting Confederation, Jodson Edington.
