In shooting, in the final of the Men’s 25 Meter Automatic Pistol adventure ended for Massimo Spinella from Reggio who ranked sixth. Too bad for that 1/5 of the first series that conditioned the path of the Reggio athlete (a subsequent 5/5 was not enough) reached in Paris by the family from Calabria. Spinella closes with 11 targets. The Chinese Li Yuehong wins.
“All of Reggio is proud of Massimo Spinella who reached the Olympic shooting final”. Mayor Giuseppe Falcomatà said this who, on behalf of the municipal administration, praised the path of the young man from Reggio in his first participation in the Games. “What Spinella has achieved is a great result, regardless of whether he wins a medal or not. Being the best shooter in the world, as Massimo has already demonstrated by winning in Cairo last year, must be a source of pride that, combined with the magnificent experience in Paris, undoubtedly rewards the efforts and sacrifices made during the season”. “A round of applause, therefore – concluded the mayor – to the champion of the Fiamme Gialle who continues to carry the name of our beautiful city high in the world. We await his return to pay tribute to him with the affection and gratitude of the entire city community”.
