Back to CAAWS September 18, 2000 Nattrass's hopes to continue fall a little short of the goal By TERRY JONES Sun Media SYDNEY For a while, it looked as if Susan Nattrass was about to write a story of stories at the Olympic Games. Forty-nine years old and responsible for getting women their own trap shooting event at the Olympics, she was leading and going for gold. After 25 shots, she had hit 23. But just as Nattrass dared dream the impossible dream, it all disintegrated like the clay pigeons around her. She missed four of her next nine and hit only 18 of 25 on her second set. Nattrass finished with 63 of 75 - two misses too many to make the six-woman final. She ended up ninth overall. The Edmonton shooter, who at the 1976 Olympics broke the gender barrier as the first woman to compete with the men, broke the first 15 targets of the final set. But then she missed two of the next three and was history.

UIT Shooting - Aiming For Athens Home Comment Form The Events Pictures ... About the Author What is UIT Shooting? The International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF), formerly the UIT is the governing body of the International Amateur Shooting Sports at international and world-wide levels of competition, including World Championships and the Olympic Games. USA Shooting is the national governing body for ISSF-style shooting in the United States by authority of the US Olympic Committee and the ISSF. In the Olympics, the shooting sports continue to draw the third-greatest number of countries and impose participation quotas to keep competitors to a manageable number. One of the greatest surges in participation came in 1984, when separate women's events were first added to the Olympic program. The ISSF recognizes a huge number of different shooting events in rifle, pistol, shotgun, and running target though only 17 events are featured in the Olympic Games. While there are great differences between disciplines, all rely on stamina and concentration to successfully shoot so many rounds with such precision. The sport's reliance on such skills makes shooting a sport in which size and age, unlike athletics or gymnastics, have little bearing on success. Oscar Swahn from Sweden was an amazing 72 years old in 1920 when he won his last shooting medal to become the oldest medalist in the history of the Games. The youngest shooter to win a medal was 16 year old Konstantin Lukashik from Belarus, who won a Gold medal in 1992. It is not uncommon for Olympic shooters to have been training for more than 20 years. Due to the competitive longevity of the sport, several shooters have competed in four or more Games.

ANCIENT ORIGINS SPORT BORN FROM THE AGE OF PISTOLS AT DAWN AND THE WILD WEST The idea of firing weapons at a target, live or otherwise, dates back to early man, though the gun, of course, was not seen until much later. Records of spear-throwing contests exist among the archives of the ancient Greeks, Indians, Persians, Celts and Germanic and Slavic tribes. In the 10th century archery and spear-throwing had given way to a device developed by the Swiss called the halberd, which combined a spear, an axe and hook in a long mechanism that was held almost like a modern-day gun. By the 14th century, the Germans had developed the halberd concept to create the wheel-lock musket and shooting clubs started to emerge. The musket proper, which used gunpowder to blow out bullets along a tube, evolved from the court of King Charles VIII of France, who wanted flexibility on the battlefield. The more gunpowder, the fiercer the shot, but the musket was a clumsy and inaccurate shot.
