Skinner scores a spot in championship team

MANSFIELD’S Olympic Gold Medalist Catherine Skinner will compete at the International Shooting Sport Federation's World Championship in Baku, Azerbaijan in August. Ms Skinner is part of a 14-person team who will represent Australia at one of the most significant precursor events to next year’s Olympics Games. Shooting Australia’s High Performance Manager Kathryn Periac said their goal was to support the World Championship team and obtain “critical Paris Olympic qualification requirements such as winning quota places and securing individual qualifying ranking points for the Olympic Games”. “Our athletes have developed and prioritised team values and behaviours to create the environment they want to be part of, and in which they can excel, and we will be working with them to deliver an experience that is successful and positive for everyone," she said. Ms Skinner has completed in five senior World Championships since 2011, securing an individual silver and bronze medal. The 2023 World Championships will commence on August 17. The nomination criteria for Paris 2024 will be released following the World Championships.
