European Championships, silver for Lodde in the skeet at Larnaca. The Italian rewards the Azzurri with a second quota place for Paris 2024

Team Italy’s road to Paris 2024 has again passed through Cyprus. Indeed, the second Olympic quota place for Paris 2024 has once again come from shooting and the European Championships held in Larnaca. Booking the spot was Luigi Lodde, claiming silver in the skeet event only after relinquishing top-spot in the shoot-off (20-19, with the series tied at 38-38) to Czech Jakub Tomecek. Bronze went to Great Britain's Ben Llewellin (27).

Silvana Stanco secured the Italian national team’s first quota place for Paris 2024 a fortnight earlier as winner of the women’s trap title at the European Championships.

The Azzurri currently qualified for Paris 2024 now stand at two (one man, one woman) in one discipline:

– Shooting - 2 quota places: 1 Trap woman, 1 Skeet man
