Rashid Al Athba claims trap gold medal at Nishan Shooting Championship

Doha: Team Qatar star Rashid Taleb Al Athba secured the gold medal in the trap competition at the Nishan Shooting Championship, which began at the start of Ramadan and will conclude on Wednesday with the awards ceremony at the Lusail Shooting Range Complex. 

The championship, held under the patronage of H.E. Sheikh Joaan bin Hamad Al-Thani, President of the Qatar Olympic Committee (QOC), is organized in collaboration with the Qatar Shooting and Archery Federation. 

 Al Athba delivered a stellar performance in the final round, clinching gold ahead of Mohammed Al Rumaihi, who earned silver, while Hamad Ali Al Athbi secured bronze. 

The tournament has drawn over 250 shooters, including national team professionals and amateurs from various age categories, both Qatari and resident.

Participants have competed in multiple disciplines, including pistol, rifle, archery, shotgun, trap, and skeet. 

To reward outstanding performances, the organizing committee has allocated QR 550,000 in cash prizes for the winners. 

The championship followed International Shooting Federation (ISSF) regulations for national team athletes, while local standards were applied to amateurs, except for safety and security protocols, which were enforced for all participants.

As the Nishan Shooting Championship nears its conclusion, anticipation builds for the final award ceremony, where the best marksmen and markswomen will be honored for their achievements.
