The airgun shooting competition within the framework of the XXXIII regional comprehensive competition “Lviv Oblast Sports Games” took place on 2 November at the training and sports base of summer sports of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine.
This type of programme has been presented for the second time in the history of the Lviv Oblast Sports Games, and this year teams from 10 territorial communities of Lviv Oblast competed for awards: Ivano-Frankivsk, Zhovkva, Radekhiv, Strelkovo, Pustomyty, Shchyrets, Sheptytska, Stryi, Brody, Novorozdil.
“We added this type of programme after the start of the full-scale invasion. We planned to update the Games programme at the end of 2021. We thought about adding something modern and dynamic that would attract a lot of fans, but the realities of life made their own adjustments.
That’s why an important part of the programme was bullet shooting, where participants not only compete in accuracy, but also learn the skills of safe handling of weapons and various technical tricks from the leading bullet shooters of the region,” adds Roman Khimyak, Head of the Youth and Sports Department of Lviv Region.
According to the results of the competition, the top three were as follows:
1st place – Ivano-Frankivsk hromada
2nd place – Zhovkivska hromada
3rd place – Radekhivska hromada
The shooting competition is the 17th and last event of the programme held this year as part of the Lviv Oblast Sports Games. Prior to that, the year saw competitions in badminton, swimming, table tennis, checkers, Nordic walking, the Mom, Dad, Me Sporty Family competition, basketball, beach volleyball among veterans, beach volleyball among adults, 3×3 basketball among men’s and women’s teams, chess, volleyball among men’s and women’s teams, track and field cross-country, and sports tourism.
