Shooter Anna Korakaki takes the gold at the H&N Cup in Munich

·

Greek Olympic gold medalist and world champion shooter Anna Korakaki won a gold medal on Friday at this year’s H&N Cup in Munich, Germany, adding another accolade to her growing collection.

Korakaki won with a total score of 242.7, leaving China’s Wei Qian second, with 240.9 points in the final of the 10-meter Air Pistol category for women.

The third place was taken by Yuemei Lin, also from China.

Starting off quite poorly, Korakaki had a lot of work to do in the rounds leading up to the end. Pulling off a stellar performance, she managed to climb out of the poor situation she had put herself in, increasing her accuracy and eventually surpassing her rivals, winning yet another gold medal to add to her collection.

Anna Korakaki has previously won gold medals at the 2016 Olympics, 2018 World Championships, 2019 European games and 2018 Mediterranean Games.
