Team Gold for GBR Skeet women

[Dog Tyred]

After a tie (with Slovakia) in the number of targets hit GBR are currently showing in Gold medal place, I assume on count back??

Elena Allen qualified for Semi-final (73) and Amber Hill (72) in shoot-off with four others for the semi-final but crashed out unfortunately. Still, team Gold not so bad

Finals live tonight although a bit of confusion as to what time?? May be 5.00, 5.30 our time or according to the ISSF clock 3 hours 30 minutes (so not live then?)

Even made CFM (Cumbria) news this morning, or maybe my brain had melted and I was hallucinating.

Good for them - but I still had to sit through a report on the 'Black Pudding Throwing Championships' on BBC Breakfast this morning - they actually sent reporters and cameras to it. 

Typical waste of space BBC

I have asked the BBC why they haven't mentioned a Gold Medal win for the team, or a Silver medal individual win...
