IPC Shooting has confirmed that 34 National Paralympic Committees have so far secured
coveted quota places for shooting at the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games, including four that
have qualified directly for the first time.
The news follows the first Paralympic qualifier of 2015 – the IPC Shooting World Cup in
Osijek, Croatia, in early July, with two more to come in Australia and the USA in September
 and November respectively.
In Osijek, shooters from Spain and Italy won places for their countries, with Kuwait,
Bulgaria and Uzbekistan all heading to a Paralympic shooting range for the first time. Ireland
obtained their inaugural direct qualification, having competed as a bipartite entry at London
2012.
Athletes were first able to obtain quota spots at the 2014 IPC Shooting World Championships
in Suhl, Germany, where 28 countries successfully began their road to Rio 2016.
Sarah Bond, IPC Shooting Sport Manager, said: “The athletes and teams seem to be delighted
with the new qualification system, which is working to ensure that more countries have the
chance to compete at the highest level.
“We have seen the quality of competition increase consistently in line with an increased
investment by countries to develop shooting and their athletes. We are pleased that this
is now all coming together to create what I am sure will be one of the most competitive
Paralympic Games in history at Rio 2016.”
Also in Osijek, 11 countries added to their quota numbers with South Korea currently leading
the way with 11 places. China have seven whilst Great Britain have achieved six spots.
Australia also have six, having already equalled their number of quota places obtained for
London 2012, with a home World Cup in Sydney, Australia, from 15-19 September still to
come.
The last IPC Shooting World Cup of the season in Fort Benning, USA, will take place
between 3-7 November, offering athletes the final opportunity to qualify.
Once the qualification period ends, countries will begin the process of nominating which
athletes will travel to Rio de Janeiro.
The full list of countries that have achieved quota places can be found on
IPC Shooting’s website.

Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic emblems unveiled



27.07.2015

The Tokyo 2020 Organising Committee unveiled the T-shaped logos of the 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Tokyo, tomorrow and team. These three key words are captured by the T-shaped emblem of the Games of the XXXII Olympiad, which has been presented last Friday in Tokyo, Japan, alongside the emblem of the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games.

The symbol, designed by Japanese artist Kenjiro Sano, is composed by a black central column, representing diversity and the sum of all colours, and a red circle, symbolising an inclusive world and the power of every beating heart, and it was created to express the power of unity.

The moment we have all been waiting for has finally arrived. Said the Tokyo 2020 President, Yoshiro Mori. The Tokyo 2020 Games emblems are a wonderful work of art that represent the aspirations and the ultimate goal that athletes around the world aim to achieve: taking part in the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

The emblems are also symbols behind which the whole of Japan can unite as a single integrated body and join the collective endeavours of the Tokyo 2020 Organising Committee, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, the national government, the Japanese Olympic Committee, the Japanese Paralympic Committee, the Japanese business community, as well as the Games volunteers and everyone who is assisting with the preparations for the 2020 Games. Let us all unite our efforts under the new Games emblems and work together as one to ensure the realisation of a truly inspirational Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2020. Concluded Mori.

Moreover, using the same elements and being inspired by the same vision, the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic emblem design is inspired by the mathematical symbol of equality.

When the Paralympic Games return here for the second time they will do so with a growing reputation for being the worlds number one sporting spectacle for driving societal change. The Vice President of the International Paralympic Committee, Andrew Parsons, said. The performances of the para-athletes will not just inspire and excite the world, but act as a catalyst for a more inclusive society, here in Japan, across Asia and the whole world. The Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games will create a brighter tomorrow for millions of people around the world. This emblem, whilst paying testament to Japans rich heritage, will represent that brighter future and will become globally synonymous with sporting excellence and the incredible achievements of Paralympians..

Último dia de competição nos Jogos Pan Americanos.


Stenio Yamamoto e Julio Almeida em competição


Cassio Rippel e Julio Almeida

Foi uma pena, mas não deu. Depois da fase de Qualificação, na qual Bruno foi muito bem, garantindo a sua presença na FINAL. Já nessa fase, com a primeira série de 15 tiros de joelho, com um resultado consistente, garantido um segundo lugar, achei que teríamos mais uma medalha que o Heck tanto merecia.

Porém na série de 15 tiros na posição deitado, com certeza alguma coisa deve ter saído errado, seja na troca de posição ou na preparação da arma do nosso atleta, não temos como julgar, mas nessa posição em que o valor médio dos tiros deveria ser o mais alto, foi o mais baixo, menos que 10.0.  

Enfim, o Tiro Esportivo funciona assim, quanto mais dependemos da precisão, menos espaço temos para erros. Hoje estava dando tudo certo, apenas num momento surgiu uma situação atípica e imprevisível, porém, Bruno, conhecemos a sua dedicação e capacidade técnica, alguma coisa você vai tirar de positivo dessa experiência que lhe trará benefícios nas próximas competições.

Bruno, por tudo que você tem mostrado como um atleta de primeira linha, você merece a nossa admiração e sempre estaremos prontos para festejar suas vitórias e te apoiar nas diversidades.

Na fase de Qualificação o Mexicano terminou em 1º lugar 1170 pts, seguido do Americano com 1167 e o Bruno Heck em terceiro com 1158pts. O Atleta brasileiro Leonardo Moreira terminou a competição em 13º com 1138 pts.

Na FINAL, o atleta Cubano Reynier Estopinam foi o vencedor da medalha de OURO com 450.4 pts, seguido do Americano George Norton, com medalha de PRATA, com 447.9 Pts.  Como o Cubano já tinha conseguido a Cota Olímpica, o Americano George Norton foi quem conquistou a Cota para o Rio 2016. Em terceiro lugar e medalha de BRONZE, ficou com o Americano Ryan Anderson com 437.3 pts.

Este foi o último dia de participação do Tiro Olímpico nos Jogos Pan Americanos e comparando com os outros Jogos anteriores, esse foi o melhor do Brasil na modalidade de Tiro, ficando em 2º lugar no quadro de medalhas logo depois do Estados Unidos. Veja o Quadro abaixo.
