Closing Ceremony - 2016 GCHR Olympics
Good Luck, Olympians!
The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not winning but taking part;
the essential thing in life is not conquering but fighting well.
Pierre de Coubertin
Founder of the International Olympic Committee
SHOOTING
Shooting has been featured in the Olympics since the first modern games in 1896,
with the exceptions of 1904 & 1928 games.
Women were added in 1984.
Over the years, the events have been changed a number of times
in order to keep up with technology and social standards.
For example, targets that formerly resembled humans or animals in
their shape and size are now a circular shape in order to avoid associating
the sport with any form of violence.
1900 – The games were in held in Paris, France held as part of the World’s Fair.
The object of this event was to shoot and kill as many birds as possible. This was the first and only time in Olympic history when animals were killed on purpose.
The birds were released in front of a participant and the winner was the competitor who shot down the most birds from the sky. The participant was eliminated once they missed two birds.
Nearly 300 birds were killed. The event turned out to be quite messy in the end with dead or injured birds on the ground and blood and feathers all over the place
1906 & 1912- The dueling pistol event was held. This event required competitors
to shoot at mannequins dressed in frock coats. There was a bullseye were on the dummy’s throat.
1908 to 1948- Olympic shooters competed in Running Deer events, a hunting-inspired competition. Shooters fired at moving deer silhouettes placed from 100 meters away, scoring points only by hitting within one of three concentric circles placed in the deer’s vitals.
