LAST week the Australian Shotgun team dominated in the Trap Mixed Teams event at the ISSF World Cup in Changwon, Korea, securing both the gold and silver medals.

The mixed team of Penny Smith and James Willett shot an impressive combined score of 146 out of a possible 150 targets to secure a top qualifying position.

Mansfield's Catherine Skinner and her team mate Thomas Grice shot 143 out of 150, finishing second in qualifying and securing an all Australian Gold medal match.

Into the medal match, where the two top qualifiers would contest the gold and silver medals, it was inevitable that both would be coming home to Australia.

After the first two series of 10 targets, both teams were tied before Smith and Willett proved too strong winning the gold medal six points to two.

"We both had a really good qualifying and really good final and Catherine and Tom shot extremely well today also," said Smith.

"It was really hot and really humid and I think quite challenging conditions again," said Skinner, to which Grice echoed, noting that visibility was not as good as you might expect, but very nice targets.

The gold and silver medals in Changwon further cemented the Australian athletes strength in the trap mixed team event, resulting in medals at all four ISSF World Cups attended this year.

The medals added to the gold medal won by Willett and Laetisha Scanlan in Azerbaijan, bronze medal won by Willett and Skinner in Italy, and the silver and bronze medals won by Willett and Scanlan and Mitch Iles and Smith in Cyprus.

The trap shotgun athletes will now return to Australia and the focus will turn to the athletes competing in the remaining skeet (shotgun), pistol and rifle events.
