20090811_SK75JUNIORGOLD_001Two world records were shattered during today’s Skeet Women Junior competition.

The Swedish shooter Therese LUNDQVIST won the Skeet Women Junior event establishing a breathtaking new Junior World Record of 74 hits out of 75 targets, shattering the 72-hits record which resisted since 2005 (set by USA’s Haley DUNN).

“It’s unbelievable! The title and the record, it’s great! This is not only a new World Records, it’s also a personal best, I had never shot such a score, before!” said the 19-year old Therese LUNDQVIST, the new Skeet Junior World Champion.

“First the Europeans and now the World Championship, this is a great moment for me, I am highly motivated!” continued LUNDQVIST, who had won the European Championship that took place in Osijek (CRO) two weeks ago.

“I will compete in a national competition, and then I will take some time off. I am staring the university in September!” concluded the 18-year old Swedish shooter, smiling in front of the podium.

The Silver medal went to the American shooter Amber ENGLISH, 19, who finished in second place with a score of 71 hits.

Natalia PANAS of Russia, 17-year old, taking part in her first ISSF international competition ever, centred the podium winning the Bronze medal with a total score of 69 targets.

USA wins the team Gold
The USA team (Amber ENGLISH, Alexander CHIANG, Caitlin CONNOR) finished atop of the Skeet Women Junior’s team podium with a record score of 204 targets. The three teammates cancelled the previous World Record of 198 targets shot by Russia at the 2007 World Championship in Nicosia (CYP)

Russia (Natalia PANAS, Maria MELESHCHENKO, Svetlana NEZNAMOVA) won Silver ranking 12 targets behind USA, with a total score of 192 targets, while Poland (Aleksandra JARMOLINSKA, Agnieszka     SIERACKA, Natalia SZAMREJ) secured Bronze with a total of 191 hits.

    Good morning.
    My friend PETER PANAS, who is 81 years old and was born in the Old Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe, lives in the USA, but has no access to the Internet. He asked me to email you, asking if you could tell him anything you might be able to find out about the 17 year old Russian junior skeet shooter NICOLA PANAS. who happens to have the same family’s name (PANAS). Peter is 100% of Greek descendacy.
    Thank you.
