Italy’s Sollazzo sets new men’s air rifle finals world record

New Delhi, Sep 11 (UNI) Italy’s Danilo Sollazzo, who finished second behind India’s Rudrankksh Patil in the Cairo World Championship in 2022 and was fifth in the Paris Olympics last year, shattered the men’s 10m air rifle finals world record on competition day three of the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) World Cup Rifle/Pistol stage in Ningbo, China. Indian shooters meanwhile, despite some solid performances, were still searching for a first final appearance at the Ningbo World Cup.

Danilo shot 255.0 in the men’s air rifle final, to relegate the home favourite, reigning Olympic champion and the very man whose record he broke, Sheng Lihao, to silver, shattering the Chinese ace’s record by 0.5 points. Sheng shot 253.5 in the final while Korean Park Haijun won bronze.
