Bakken missed once on each of the four shootings, but none near victory fight was more accurate. Said Kari Mullah Khalili from Russia came in 3rd place.
– The race in my blood, and the detection rate at the shooting range was satisfactory. I met with 80 percent of the shots, and that’s where I lie. The speed of the track I am very pleased, explained Hill.
– To win this gold medal is totally awesome. This is the biggest I can win right now, and it is a confirmation that it goes beyond all expectations on me at the moment. This is a huge motivation for further investment, he added.
After the Youth Olympics finished, remain NM before the season is over for the fresh Olympic winner.
