Rutter Captures European Skeet Title by One Target

Amber Rutter won the women's skeet title at the European Championship Shotgun in Malakasa, Greece, hitting 34 targets to finish one ahead of Italy's Diana Bacosi.

One target between gold and silver

Sweden's Victoria Larsson claimed bronze with 27, well clear of France's Noemie Battault in fourth on 23.

France's Lucie Anastassiou finished fifth on 20, ahead of the Czech Republic's Anna Sindelarova with 18. Italy's Sara Bongini and Germany's Nadine Messerschmidt both ended on nine.

A rival held off, a title reclaimed

On the same day in Malakasa, Finland's Eetu Kallioinen won the men's skeet title in a 4-3 shoot-out over Ukraine's Mikola Milchev after both finished the final on 31. The senior finals followed a junior programme in which Italy's Antonio La Volpe equalled the junior world and European records with 34 targets.

The result was confirmed on 1 October 2026 and reported by the ISSF the following day. A new season brings a new title, and Rutter leaves Greece with the European crown.
