Michael had won the Silver Medal to add to his unequalled run of success and Ben took 5th place. In all a good build up for Cairo the following week, and an ominous sign for those watching Michael’s form leading into the World Championships in that city.

On completion of the double trap, we were booked to fly to Cairo for the World Championships via Athens on Olympic Airlines. Our flight out of Cyprus at 9.30 pm was delayed for two hours causing us to miss our connection to Cairo by half an hour. The USA and Croatian Teams were also on our flight making a total of 21 pas- sengers heading for Cairo and instead of holding the flight, Olympic let it depart with 21 empty seats and no more flights for 24 hours and no guarantee of seats as it was fully booked. Cyprus trap, 1st, 2nd, 3rd. After 4 hours of negotiating they finally agreed to send some via

To cut a long story short, we all finally arrived in Cairo on trips varying from 18 to 24 hours, that normally takes less than one hour on a direct flight. We were all exhausted from lack of sleep but ready to give our best at the World Championships, but that’s another story......

We would like to thank Luca Scribani Rossi from Beretta Aus- tralia and Alessandra Socci from RC for making ammunition available for us in Cyprus. Without these valuable sponsors’ arrangements to organise ammunition would certainly be much more difficult.

WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP - CAIRO

The next competition to be contested was the World Champi- onships in all ISSF disciplines, including Juniors, and these were held in Cairo, Egypt.

At the end of the World Championships, Australia had: 3 Individual World Champions 2 Individual Bronze Medallists 1 World Championship Team - Men’s Trap 1 Bronze Medal Team - Women’s Trap

Michael Diamond had defended his World Trap Championship Angelique Psarakis won the Junior Women’s Trap Championship Susan Trindall won the Junior Women’s Double Trap Champi- onship Natalia Rahman - Bronze Medal - Junior Women’s Skeet Champi- onship Rocky Manno - Bronze Medal - Junior Men’s Double Trap Cham- pionship Australia’s Men’s Trap Team - World Champion Team for the 2nd time in a row

These ended in being the largest Championships in the history of ISSF shooting in both numbers of competitors and numbers of countries contesting, and it was also the first time that there were enough Juniors to enable World Championship status on their events as well. A milestone for ISSF shooting as far as the Juniors were concerned with the United States of America and Australia being the two countries who have been promoting the Junior side of ISSF. In total there were 54 countries competing and 608 com- petitors. The United States had the largest team with 40 competi- tors, Australia with the second largest, with 34 competitors, followed by Italy with 33 and Russia with 32.

September 2001 Australian Clay Target Shooting News Page 5 ‘official hotels’ with Dr. Sue and me staying with the Junior Team at the Meridian Hotel and the Senior Team, along with John, Greg and Darrien, stayed at the Sofitel Hotel about 500 metres away and from both we had a splendid view of the pyramids. A few people made comments of why had I split the Team in this way but I believe it worked out excep- tionally well with the Senior Team enjoying their freedom and the Junior Team dining and enjoying each other’s company and I thought this created a greater Team atmosphere. I believe the results have proven this.

September 2001 Australian Clay Target Shooting News Page 7 In the meantime I went off and started paying all the entries and tried to finalize the book work with the authorities. These Team Managerial duties took about 3 hours a day for each of the next 8 days and all I can say is there were a lot of head-aches. I found the hotels had over booked all of the rooms (this was their High Season and there were a lot of tourists about) and they also booked them out to the names of the people in them, not to the Australian Team as a whole, and when I had to juggle people around once the Team came in from Cyprus, chaos reigned for a couple of nights as we had been booked 2 rooms short. When the Cyprus Team arrived they found they had 2 bags missing along with Nathan Cassells’ gun and the Team members were all completely worn out, virtually having had no sleep for one and a half days.

April 29th - Up early again for this was ‘official practice’ day for Trap and as usual Australia was up first on the grounds (countries practice in alphabetical order). All of the Trap shooters were keen to get in a solid practice and we had Nathan trying to familiarize himself with a loan of Adam’s gun.

I attended the Technical Meeting that day. The Opening Cere- mony was on the agenda in the early evening and we saw two very proud Juniors carrying the Australian flag into the Opening Cere- mony - Angelique Psarakis and Robert Cameron. All of the Juniors and some of the Senior Team attended` this ceremony dressed in their official track-suits and this was great to see. We were entertained by some Egyptian musicians, dancing horses and then Egyptian dancing - this was all very lovely but I found the music a little too loud and went on a little too long.

Dr Sue in Cairo, 2001. Prior to the Opening Ceremony taking place we had been notified that the missing bags etc. had turned up at the airport and they I was supervising the loading I gave it a bit of a kick and suddenly needed Greg and Nathan to go out and pick up the articles.

We came across a Security Check Point The weather conditions were quite warm for the whole 10 days of about a half a kilometre from the airport and the Police drove competition except for one day where we had gusty winds for the straight through - our bus being stopped as the bus did not have full day.

We were finally off to our hotels (in 1998) with a new range having been built and all the grounds and after a couple of wrong turns, about an hour later we arrived levelled out in front with imitation green lawn in strips along the at our hotel where we had to unload all of the luggage and sort out front of the each trap house to help the shooters see the orange what belonged to everybody and then John took the Senior Team clays as they flew out into the golden sand back ground.

We then had a couple of hours to unpack and get settled before we At the end of the first day in the Men’s competition we had had a Team meeting for the Juniors with John and me talking (Dr. Michael on 50/50 and both Ben and Nathan on 48/50. The Junior Sue and Darrien observing), on what we expected of the Juniors Men’s scores were: Travis Vaina on 47/50, and Robert Cameron and we all passed on any prior knowledge we had of Cairo and the and Andrew Brady both on 45/50. In the Women’s competition we hotel and we made times for breakfasts and dinners so we could saw both Deserie and Suzanne scoring 47/50, with Nessa shooting all eat together ‘as a Team’.

September 2001 Australian Clay Target Shooting News Page 9 see as much as possible in Cairo without interfering with their Junior Men’s Double Trap results showed that at the end of the shooting programme. We have already had an excursion to the day we had Rocky Manno winning the Bronze Medal having shot pyramids (for all those who wanted to go), to the Sphinx and to the 44+44+43+2 after a shoot off with an Italian Junior. Rocky really old temple and to the Papyrus Art Gallery plus some shopping at showed that he was maturing with his shooting, going into the the bazaars. shoot off with a great deal of confidence.

Scores of 105 to 111 made for both Men and Junior Men, Women and Junior Women being the Final in Women’s Double Trap which is a fairly respectable shot for on this day. At the end of the day the results for the Men score compared to a few years ago and it is good to see that the were a little disappointing when we were hoping to do well. Adam women’s scores are getting higher and higher year by year. The Vella came in = 9th with a score of 46+46+47 = 139 (which in overall winners were: anyone’s language is a pretty good score), but the lowest score to CHN ZHANG, Yafei 143/160 GOLD go into the Final was a 142 with the highest score being 144.

September 2001 Australian Clay Target Shooting News Page 13 The settling of all accounts was also done today and this was finalised in about 3 hours - very unlike my experiences in Cairo.

The Welcome Banquet at the Shooting Ground was quite a lavish affair with a huge crowd in attendance and with many of our Team members not wishing to try some of the different Korean dishes, we all caught the first bus back to the hotel and then John and I, along with a couple of the girls, headed for the restaurant while most of the Team headed off to either McDonalds or Hungry Jacks which were situated about a kilometre from the hotel. The food in Korea is very expensive, as is clothes, electrical goods etc. and I believe things are cheaper back home. There are some bargains if you go to the street stalls and barter for them but the quality then is unknown. It was here that a shop owner told me that he had some “very cheap imitation copy watches, but not as good as the usual copies”, can you believe it, at least he was honest! Korea is one of the most progressive countries that I have been to with their building of freeways, high rise buildings, modern cars, a very modern underground railway system and all very, very clean and something that was very noticeable, NO GRAFFITI to be seen anywhere.

May 11th - Official Trap training day and Technical Meeting (for me), Opening Ceremony in the afternoon followed by a Welcome Banquet which we all attended. A very busy day.

The Opening Ceremony was very colourful with folk dancing and some Junior Martial Arts performers demonstrating their skills. The weather for the whole time we were there was very good with warm sunny days of around 22 degrees C, excepting for May 15th where we had bitterly cold winds and some light showers of rain.

The shooting ground in Korea is, I believe, that which was used for the Olympic Games and combines all of the shooting sports. It is built in quite a large wooded area on the outskirts of the city and was a one hour drive from the hotel at Olympic Park. The grounds here were also utilised for other outdoor activities with many playing fields for sports such as volley ball, basketball etc. and many picnic areas. These grounds are used 7 days a week by the public for recreational use including kindergartens and school children for every day there were bus loads of children wandering about watching the shooting sports and picnicking in the area - this was tremendous. I was also told that the Seoul Zoo allows certain animals (deer etc.) to graze and wander about the park at certain times of the year. There were also some large office blocks with amenities, and a very nice restaurant and an out-door eating area situated at the main buildings. The Clay Target Range is situated about three quarters of a kilo- metre from the main buildings and mini buses run from the main bus park out to the Clay Target Range every 10 minutes. The Clay Target Range has 3 grounds cut into the side of a hill with the back ground being densely covered native forest, similar to that in Langkawi. There was also quite a nice restaurant situated at the Suzanne Balogh, winner of Women‘s double Trap in Korea. Clay Target Range with plenty of seating for a viewing area. The trap layouts were equipped with Spieth throwing machines, that runs through the city and there were very few building over Matarelli traps for the Double Trap and Nasta Skeet traps - the 30 - 40 metres in height. Now there are dozens of modern bridges targets used were Corsivia - coloured orange.

He did end up winning the posted a 24 giving her a score of 97/100 - a new World Record and shoot off by shooting 4 single barrels. Tom shot a 24 in the Final the Gold Medal.

Once again Australia was up first for practice with all shooting exceptionally well - particularly Russell, Nathan and Brett. Suzie Trindall experienced a double discharge in her gun and John had the gun smith check the triggers and did what he could and they seemed to be working well after being worked on. We had an early finish today and went back early to do some laundry chores etc. and then went shopping. John and I found a Sizzler type restau- rant where we dined with reasonable prices and a good variety of food to choose from - the steaks still very expensive and very small compared to those at home. Barty flew in this evening and as John and I were returning to the hotel we met the boys just heading off for a Big Mac for dinner.

May 15th - Double Trap competition for Men and Women plus the Final for both. At the end of the 120 targets for the Women we saw Suzanne B. as the number one shooter for the Final on a very good score of 109/120. Those on 98/120 had to shoot off for 6th place and this was a shame as Suzie T. had shot a 96/120 but missed 2 targets when she had experienced two double discharges with her gun and this was a very big disappointment to her. Diane came in 10th place on 32+28+35 giving her 95/120. The Final for the Women saw four of those women going into the Final with scores of 107 up to Suzanne’s 109 and this was going to be a nail biting affair. The flash targets again proved to be a big challenge but in

Summary - As with all great things they come to an end but I believe this trip produced the best ever results from the World Central Burnett Championships and World Cups combined and it was the biggest Team taken to the highest of all ISSF competitions.

Masseur Darrien - for once again working tirelessly, day and night, keeping everyone in tip top condition and for your friendship and smiling face - I thank you.

John and Greg - having observed now many of the Coaches from around the world, and their interaction with their Teams, I don’t believe there are any other Coaches as dedicated and hard working as the two of you, and I believe the Australian shooters are very appreciative of your assistance, so on behalf of them I would like to thank you publicly for your support.

To the people who have made this trip possible, I would also like to thank you on behalf of the Team - the A.C.T.A., the Australian Sports Commission, Peter Whelan of Uniserve and the NSW Safety Awareness Council (both of whom are sponsors of our Junior shooters), to the parents of our Juniors (for they have helped fund their Juniors to these competitions), special thanks to Alesandra Socci from RC Car- tridges, Italy and Luca Scribani Rossi of RC Cartridges Australia (who made cartridges available to the Team in both Cyprus and Korea), to Perazzi Firearms for the support they are giving to our Junior shooters and to the Shooting Committee for the support that they have shown to me and finally I would like to apologise to those shooters for my non-attendance at the grounds when I was sick, and where I was unable to give them the support that would normally be expected of me.

As for the Manager’s positions over the last four years, once again Graham Michell Mr Smith, your knowledge seems very limited. I will inform you Chairman, Shooting Committee just how the selection of Coaches and Managers was made during ACTA Referee and Referee Examiner this time. These were not made at the ACTA’s discretion - these ISSF ‘A’ Grade Judge positions were given by the Olympic Athlete Program Board and ACTA Executive for 11 years the Australian Shooting Association. Luca Scribani Rossi and President of South Australia for 11 years Greg Chan were selected to be the Coaches for the period up to the Diploma recipient from the Australian Institute of Management. 31 December 2000 including the Olympics and the O.A.P. Board also insisted that a ‘pool’ of four people to act as Mangers was to be made up - people who could manage multiple disciplinary Teams at an international level.

As to the letter from Mr Buhagiar, I am unaware of the source of his research, but I believe his “majority rules” argument for KRIEGHOFF - K80 change back to “Australianised” rules is both fundamentally flawed and inappropriate. This is due to the fact that the only vote that I am aware of taking place, which involved the majority of TRAP, SKEET, FIELD MODELS this country’s Skeet shooters, was at the meeting convened by the ACTA Rules Committee at the 2000 Skeet Nationals, where I was EXTRA BARRELS, ADJ STOCKS ETC. personally present.

I’d had trouble all day until this fourth and final round when I’d shot the high single and was lining up for the low when the first drops stated. No worries, I was “in the slot” and kept going as the rain got heavier. One and one! Reload, line up for the double and the rain got heavier. One and one. You beauty! I turned around for the accolades to see the back of the referee as he was running for shelter. The rest were already there! Oh well. At least I got the monkey off my back. The rain lasted on five minutes after which we got back to business under blue skies.
