Shooting
In January 2013, the International Shooting Sport Federation adopted new rules for holding competitions for 2013-2016, which, in particular, changed the order of the finals. In many disciplines, athletes who reached the finals now begin the decisive round without points scored in the qualification, and the finals are held according to the elimination system. Also, in the finals after each round of shooting, the athlete with the least points is eliminated from further struggle. In a high-speed pistol, decisive fights take place on a miss-miss system. A semi-final round was added to the trap shooting, where two participants in the final match and a duel for the third place were determined [4] .

In each exercise, the athlete is given 3 attempts. The winner is determined by the sum of two exercises. In case of equality of results, the victory is awarded to the athlete, with less weight.
