U.S. trap shooter Joshua Richmond won the gold medal of the men's double trap at the ISSF World Cup here on Sunday, the first medal for the U.S. team at the Munich tournament. Richmond shot a consistent competition in the final. While everybody around him missed, he kept the right concentration finishing in the lead with 188 hits.

"Today's score is very high, usually 143 hits could top the qualifying round, but not today," Richmond said after the final.

Commenting on his stable performance in the final stage, the 24-year old said he "did not realize" other shooters has missed targets one after another.

Both Richard Faulds from Britain and Rashid Al-Athba from Qatar hit 187 targets in the final round of the event, but Faulds hit both targets in the first shootoff to claim the silver, while Al-Athba merely hit one, taking home a bronze.
