In the men's pistol competition on the Swedish Cup on day three Daniel Johansson won his second straight gold. He did it after a tight battle against two Finnish shooters in the finale. Johansson from Uppsala took over the lead towards the end and kept it. And in the penultimate shot he got the perfect hit - 10.9.
- It was just as well today as yesterday, so I'm very happy. I tried to think "no nerves" on the way up with the arm and then "squeeze" ... It was nice to get the 10.9 too. Especially when Salo shot 10.6 and then 10.3 in the end.
Johansson's winning score was 197.7 points against 196.8 for the runner-up Jarmo Salo from Finland. Kai Jahnsson got the bronze.
The victory made Johansson best shooter in the class over the three-day competition.
Frederik took his third gold
In the junior men's finale Oscar Nilsson from Swedish Lönsboda led from the first elimination shots. He was followed immediately by Frederik Larsen of Denmark and Magnus Palmgren from Sweden. When Palmgren ended up third the gold battle stood between Larsen and Nilsson, just like the previous day. With 10.3 in his penultimate shot Nilsson looked confident but it was one shot too early to rejoice. Because in the twentieth and decisive shot Larsen scored 10.5 and Nilsson 7.6. With that the Dane could pass Nilsson and take his third straight gold in this years Swedish Cup.
Frederik Larsen was off course given the titel "best shooter in the class" and beyond that he was also receiving an air pistol for being the best pistol shooter overall in this Swedish Cup.
