Shooter Robin Walter got his third individual podium of his career at the World Cup in Baku.
The 23-year-old finished third in a close final with the air pistol. “I wasn’t expecting a medal because the final wasn’t that great with all the nines and eights,” said last year’s double European champion: “But somehow it was still enough.”
The World Cup in Baku was a kind of dress rehearsal for the highlight of the year, the World Championships with the awarding of numerous Olympic quota places will take place at the same place from August 14th to September 1st. Walter had previously placed third at the World Cup final in Cairo in 2022, and he also celebrated his best result in 2022 with a second place in Rio.
