Croatia to stage combined European Shooting Championships ahead of Tokyo 2020 Saturday, 16 January 2021
Shooters aiming to compete in the 10-metre air rifle and 10m air pistol disciplines at Tokyo 2020 have been handed a lifeline after Croatia agreed to merge two events into one European Shooting Championships.
Lohja in Finland was originally scheduled to host the European 10-metre Championships in rifle, pistol and running target from February 26 to March 6 only for the coronavirus pandemic to force those plans to be altered.
But the Croatian Shooting Federation has stepped into the breach, offering to stage the competition in Osikej alongside the European Championships in shotgun, 25m pistol and 50m rifle.
