Ivan Roe of the USA claimed the men’s 50m Rifle 3 Positions (R3P) title at the XIII CAT Championships 2022 in Lima, Peru on Friday (11 November) with compatriot Mary Tucker winning the women's edition.
Roe topped the shooting podium by beating compatriot Tim Sherry 17-5 in the gold-medal match with Olympic silver medallist Lucas Kozeniesky in third.
In the women's edition, Olympic silver medallist Tucker just beat Sarah Beard 17-15 in a tight contest that saw the lead change hands in the latter stages.
Katie Lorraine Zaun, a junior world championship medallist in the women's team event at the same locale in 2021, bagged bronze.
Roe secures a shooting quota place for the U.S. at the Paris 2024 Olympics courtesy of the win, with Beard snagging the women's equivalent due to Tucker already having secured a quota spot for the US at this tournament.
