Mohammed al Rumaihi’s Polish coach Robert Mlodzianowski applauded his ward’s focus given the twilight conditions.
“It was not easy at all. The competition was tough, besides the final started too late in the afternoon. With the setting sun, the visibility of the target (clay pigeons) was not easy. Yet, our shooter’s sighting was exceptional maybe he couldn’t finish as we may have wanted him to but he managed to claim the Olympic quota place and we all are very happy.”
About the wind factor, he said, “the constant wind and breeze wasn’t the problem. We often shoot when there is wind, so that’s not an issue, but visibility and the first moment when you can sight the target is important and that gets affected when the light is less.”
Yes, Al Rumaihi kept things in sight and could clearly see where he wanted to go. Now we shall await Qatar’s six-time Olympian Nasser Saleh al Attiyah’s participation in the skeet event which begins Saturday.
It wasn’t just Mohammed al Rumaihi who provided the shotgun joy for Qatar by clinching an Olympics quota place in the men’s trap event at the 14th Asian Championships on Wednesday. The Qatar men’s trap team added to home delight by winning the bronze medal.
