    USA Ladies SWEEP skeet podium at World Championship

    https://www.issf-sports.org/news.ashx?newsid=3167

    First USA podium sweep since 50 meter rifle in 1974! The ladies can shoot! This is international skeet, against the best in the world.
    Hope the link works

    Funny that I didn't see any mention of this in the 'normal' news sites - instead, a litany of articles on the **** shows currently going on in MLB/NBA/NFL/etc. :-/

    Thanks for the good news,

    Our open men's skeet team members start in the morning, Vincent Hancock, Frank Thompson, and Phillip Jungman. Vincent is 2time Olympic Gold, should be good. Also our junior Ladies get a chance to match the open ladies performance. Our Junior Ladies have swept the podium in 2 recent world cups. Would love to see them do it at this event, second only to the Olympics!
    Can't understand why the media dosen't at least cover the major events, in Europe this is a relativly big media event.

    Vincent Hancock ran perfect 125 of 125 finish 1st in qualifying, moving on to finals around 2am our time.
    Miss Simonton also finished first with Smith and Jacob in a 3 way shootoff(2 of the 3 make finals) with a Russian girl. At least 2 and possiably all three will make finals. Their finals will be about 1 am our time.
