The 10 m Air Rifle was the most popular competition in the European Championship in Györ. In this event, there were 96 participants, from whom 8 qualified into the final. This was also the first of the three finals where athletes tried to achieve an Olympic quota place for Rio. Among the eight finalists, there were four athletes who did not yet have achieved quotas, but there were only three quotas left. These athletes were Hungarian Juliana Miskolczi, Croatian Tanja Perec, Ziva Dvorsak from Slovenia and Petra Lustenberger from Switzerland. All the finalists were experienced athletes in spite of Swiss Lustenberger to whom this final was first European Championship final.
Some way the story of this final game was clear quite well from the beginning. The gold medal would be duel Norwegian Marlin Westerheim and Serbian Andrea Arsovic. These two athletes kept the leading position all the time. In the beginning, Werterheim ruled, but during the 13th shot Arsovic and Westerheim, they were even. After 14th shot Arsovic finally passed the Norwegian, but only with the difference of 0.1 points. The lead of Arsovic changed between 0.6 points to 0.1. What a thriller. Weinheimer tried to attack during the last shots but it was not enough powerful and Arsovic won Westerheim with a difference of 1.1 points. The winning result of Arsovic was 207.7 and the silver medalist reached 206.6.
The Olympic quota places were solved after eight shots when the first athlete will be drop out. This athlete was, unfortunately, Ziva Dvorsak from Slovenia. The three quota places achieved Julianna Miskolczi; HUN (7.), Tanja Perec CRO (6) and finally Petra Lustenberger (3) who won bronze with the result 185.5.
