MAXIMILLIAN MADE MAXIMUM

Sunday’s second competition and final was the 10m Air Rifle Men Youth. It was an excellent shooting show from young athletes.

It meant that they both had the same result 247.1, and the shoot-off was a reality.

At finals my start was terrible and I was ever so nervous. Then I started to get better hits. It was really exciting final. Fortunately I made into the end some good hits so we reached equal results with Grigorii. At shoot off I was very nervous but I think that so was Grigorii too. I was probably less nervous and lucky one», explained Maximillian Ulbrich who is not sure shall he travel to Buenos Aires while in Germany they have still separate qualifications.
