Home hero Campriani secured his second medal within two days
Finishing on the highest step of the podium, the American winner upset the home hero, Italy’s Niccolò “Nicco” Campriani, ranked first in the world in this event. The Italian shooter finished in second place with a total score of 1270.7 points, after qualifying with 1172 points and firing 98.7 points in the final, including a frustrating 8.6 on his first final shot.
“It has been difficult with the wind, and I had a very bad prone match. Also, it’s not so easy, coming form the victory in the Air Rifle.” Campriani said, mentioning his successful match of two days ago, when he finished in the spotlights by winning the 10m Air Rifle Men final on his home turf.
Winning the pre-Olympic World Cup in London in spite of the adverse weather conditions, and coming from a podium at the 2011 ISSF World Cup Final, Campriani was already listed in the favourites’ list for the 2012 London Olympics. And these days’ performances strength the feeling that he could be one of the protagonists of London 2012.

E' poi chiaro che non ha mollato, l'errore poteva uscire a chiunque, bravo (e fortunato a questo punto) Parker. In termini assoluti (senza decimali hanno realizzato antrambi serie da 96. Molto più rotonda però la rosata di quest'ultimo. Il miglior risultato in piedi lo ha realizzato Nicco, ed anche di rilievo date le condizioni meteo ...
