Engen impressed with 4th place in the World Cup

Frisian Jrgen Engen (21) reaches fourth place in World Cup clay pigeon Norway is Norway's best, namely the Tokyo Olympics in 2020, four years, but since then 2014, a Norwegian has clearly reached the final (in the top 6) at a World Cup competition. In 1969, England was number four after qualifying, where he hit 122 out of 125 shots. In the final, the competition was very close and the 21-ring only touched 32 of the 40 shots he received.

That ended with a 4th place that was anything but painful for the Norwegian.

– I have worked well here and shot many beautiful shots today. He gets a little weak in the final, but I am very happy, says Engen in a press release from the Norwegian Skytterforbund.

South Korean Lee Jong-Jun won the Tucson Arizona race after qualifying and the final. He scored 54 points in the final. The Tour became the Italian Giancarlo Tazza (53 hits), while Swede Stefan Nilsson struck 42 times and became number 3.

Erik Watndal became number 18 in the competition with 119 hits.

For Jrgen Engen, 4th place is a sensational result. He made his World Cup debut last year

– We like to give our kids a chance, though they are good enough, but it is important that it is not too early. In Malta, Jrgen was awarded the World Cup gold medal (53rd place) and we were a little worried about how he was attacked there. But he got up immediately, won the withdrawal of EM at home only two weeks later, and today he shows what he is good at. It was very strong by Jrgen, "says sportsman Tor Idar Aune.
