    Gorgs Geikie's won an Olympic Quota Place for Pistol

    ...at the European Championships in Belgrade.
    Bloody well done her!

    That means we'll have at least 2 female pistol shooters representing GBR (there's a host nation quota as well).

    Rather cruelly, the rifle squad have missed out on 2 quota places on countback in the last 3 days (and missed a 3rd by a single point). In fact I believe they would have won at least one of those under the previous tie-break system. I have no doubt they'll have their day though

    That's great shooting now lets hope our media will give her and the others shooters the attention they deserve.

    Congratulations to Gorgs - more representation for GBR in air pistol may help the airpistol event capture the imagination of the Great British press.....and TV maybe?
