Paris: Qatar’s top skeet shooter Rashid Saleh Al Athba will begin his quest for the coveted Olympic medal on Friday as he faces a star-studded line-up at the Chateauroux Shooting Center in Chateauroux, France.
The 43-year-old, who qualified for the Paris Games after winning the World Skeet Championships bronze and the Asian Championships gold, has shown good form claiming a bronze medal in June’s ISSF World Cup 2024 in Lunato, Italy.
This is Al Athba’s third Olympic appearance as he participated in the men’s double trap at the 2004 Olympics and the trap and double trap events at the 2012 Olympics.
