ISSF Target Sprint
It's no surprise that only Germans won today's Target Sprint -- they were all but the only participants.
Except for an Austrian, a Japanese, and two Indians, all athletes taking part in today's events were in fact German.
Alexander Lipinski, Silke Fischer, Eileen Schönherr, Anita Flack, Annika Schlegel, Ricky Krebs, Leon Wolff, and Steffen Hannich were today's winners in the event's eight categories.
