Kuwait win individual and team trap gold at Doha World Shooting Championship

Kuwait claimed a men's trap double at the World Shooting Championship in Doha, taking gold in both the individual and team events at the Lusail shooting range complex.

The championship, an Olympic qualifier for Los Angeles 2028, has drawn around 1,100 shooters from 91 countries.

Abdulrahman Al-Faihan won the individual title after a tense shoot-off against India's Vivaan Kapoor. The pair had finished the final level on 29 targets each, and Al-Faihan hit three in the shoot-off to Kapoor's two. Kapoor took silver, while China's Qi Ying won bronze with 22.

All three medallists secured Olympic quota places for their countries' national Olympic committees, booking spots for Kuwait, India and China at the Los Angeles 2028 Games.

Al-Faihan then led Kuwait to victory in the team event, which featured 20 nations. He shot 121, with Talal Al-Rashidi adding 119 and Khaled Al-Mudhaf 116 for a winning total of 356.

Poland, the Czech Republic and India all finished on 354, with tie-break rules handing silver to Poland and bronze to the Czech team. India placed fourth.

In the women's competition, Italy's Jessica Rossi won individual trap gold with 27 targets, and Italy also took the women's team title with 348.

The championship closes on Friday with the mixed team trap event, the first world championship to serve as a qualifier for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics.
