The first medal for Italian skeet shooting has arrived. Diana Bacosi, won the silver medal in skeet, losing the gold medal she won in Rio by a whisker. To be reconfirmed 5 years later is an exceptional feat that only champions can repeat. In the last 40 years, only Luciano Giovannetti, Andrea Benelli, Giovanni Pellielo and Chiara Cainero have been able to repeat this feat. Volley shooting is a sport that requires total concentration on an action that lasts less than a second and precision and speed of execution. Self-control is the mental discipline that shooters undergo on a daily basis, and breaks between shots are an essential factor that puts them in a position to carry out the technical action.
The fencer is alone with himself on the platform, his work consists, in fact, in a work of estrangement from the context represented by any other stimulus (the opponents, the environment and the public, the score) that is not his action.
So, congratulations to Diana Bacosi and may her victory be a good wish for the next competitions of the other Italians.
