ISSF World Championship Target Sprint · Suhl, GER
Almost 80 athletes, representing 10 National Olympic Committees, will
participate in the historic ISSF World Championship Target Sprint, scheduled in
Suhl (GER) from June 22nd to June 26th.
After traveling to five countries in three continents, the International
Shooting Sport Federation approaches the second half of the 2017 season by
celebrating its first official competition of a new discipline: the ISSF World
Championship Target Sprint, taking place in Suhl (GER) from the 22nd to the

First introduced in 2013 and being tested multiple times during these
four years, Target Sprint combines middle-distance running and air rifle
shooting, a mix that already attracted many athletes from different
disciplines, such as track and field and biathlon, who gave it a try and
welcomed Target Sprint positively.

24th and on Sunday, June 25th. 78 athletes from 10 nations will participate,
competing in four individual and three team events, including a mixed one.
