Shooting
In January 2013, the International Sport Shooting Federation adopted new competition rules for 2013–2016, which, in particular, changed the order of the finals. In many disciplines, athletes who have reached the final now begin a decisive round without points scored in the qualification, and the final passes through the elimination system. Also in the finals after each round of shooting an athlete with the lowest score will be eliminated from further combat. In a high-speed pistol, the decisive fights take place according to the system hit-miss. A semi-final round was added to the trap shooting, where two participants in the final match and a duel for the third place are determined [2] .
