Grampian Clay Pigeon Shooter, Allan Ritchie, has scooped a Bronze medal on day 2 of this year’s World Shooting Para Sport Championships.
The event, held this year in Sydney, Australia, showcases the very best of shooting talent from across the globe, and Allan has done Scotland proud by bringing home 3rd place in the Para Trap 1 event after facing some stiff competition from 2018 silver medalist, Italy’s Orsete Lai, and Finland’s Juha Myllymakim, who claimed the gold & silver positions respectively.
Allan is an extremely dedicated athlete who puts in an incredible amount of mileage and effort to train with the national squad whilst working full-time, and devotes some of his limited spare hours to inspiring the next generation of athletes through volunteering with Aberdeenshire Sports Council.
Well done, Allan! What an incredible achievement.
