    Why are men and women’s shooting separate at the Olympics? Shouldn’t it be mixed gender like F1 as there’s no strength element?

        Women pushed for it to be separated after men won 23/24 qualifier spots in 1992. Why do you spread misinformation? It was pushed BEFORE she even won

          It was decided just a few months before the 1992 olympics*, but two years after(!) Zhang started dominating skeet.

          *despite protests from the female president of the Canadian International Trapshooters Association, Susan Nattrass
