Joshua Richmond notched the top finish by an American so far in Baku with a tenth place finish in the double trap competition on Saturday. It was a disappointing finish for Richmond considering it was his worst of the four world cup stops this year and came off a win in San Marino. Richmond started out with a 26 and 27 to really put the pressure on his final 3 rounds. He improved with a 29 and 26 before shooting a final round 28 that left him two short with a total of 136. Richmond will be representing the US in the event in Rio where he will be a medal contender. In the 10m air pistol event Alexander Chichkov was 27th after shooting a 575. The score was five off the final qualifier spot as Chichkov lost the most ground in his fourth round where he shot a 93.

The final US competitors will begin on Monday in the men’s and women’s skeet competition. In women’s skeet, which also wraps up on Monday, it’ll be Amber English (fourth in Rio) and Caitlin Connor (her first world cup event of 2016). In men’s skeet it’ll be Phillip Jungman, Mark Staffen, and Hayden Stewart competing. Stewart was 13th in Rio while Jungman was 25th in Nicosia. The men’s competition wraps up on Tuesday.
