Shooting sports. 12 medals Start

KSI Start Szczecin competitors won 12 medals during the Polish Cup in para-shooting sports, which took place in Gryfino, and Szczecin competitors stood on the top podium 6 times, winning all team competitions.

Gold medals were won by Start Szczecin teams: in the prone air rifle (Emilia Trześniowska, Waldemar Andruszkiewicz, Tadeusz Sondej), in the air pistol (Kacper Pierzyński, Sławomir Okoniewski, Sławomir Piszczoła), in the standard air pistol (Kacper Pierzyński, Sławomir Okoniewski, Andrzej Zajda) and in the prone freestyle rifle (Waldemar Andruszkiewicz, Tadeusz Burski, Jolanta Szulc), and Kacper Pierzyński stood on the highest step of the podium twice (standard air pistol and 30×30 sports pistol). The Cup vice-champions were: Waldemar Andruszkiewicz (air rifle lying down open) and Sławomir Okoniewski (air pistol 60 shots), and the bronze medals were won by: Sławomir Okoniewski twice (air pistol standard and 30×30 sports pistol), Agnieszka Grzelak (air pistol women) and Tadeusz Burski (free rifle lying down). Almost the entire national elite took part in the obstacle course, with participants from the last Paralympic Games in Paris, and it was the first competition this year and practically the last strong test before the Polish Championships in July.

- I consider the beginning of the season successful, and in a month I will start in the World Cup in Korea, so I will do everything to improve my results - said the current European champion Kacper Pierzyński, the best player in the Polish Cup, who won 4 gold medals (two each, individually and in the team).

- Until now, national competitions were held in Gryfino, and now the Polish Cup has been organized, so the rank has increased, and my players, as you can see, are in good shape and we just need to maintain it, because the season is long, lasting until November, I think - summed up Kazimierz Milewski, the coach of Start Szczecin.
