The third World University Championships Shooting Sport event, which took place in the Polish city of Wroclaw in 2010, witnessed a notable performance from Germany’s future Olympic champion Christian Reitz.
Reitz, then 23, won gold in the 25m rapid fire pistol – the event in which he had taken Olympic bronze two years earlier in Beijing.
Third place went to the Czech Republic’s Martin Podhrasky, just as it had in the opening edition of this event seven years earlier.
And the German athlete added a silver in the 10m air pistol men, where gold went to the Republic of Korea’s Daemyung Lee, a silver medal winner at the previous month’s ISSF World Championships.
Reitz went on to reach two pistol finals at London 2012, and four years later at the Rio 2016 Games won 25m rapid-fire pistol gold.
He has also won four World Championship and three World Cup Final golds.
Lee, who had also competed at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, was also the individual winner in the 50m pistol event. This was a special year for him as he went on to win the 10m air pistol title at the 2010 Asian Games in Guangzhou.
France, using this event as a major training event for the London 2012 Games, achieved excellent results, as did debutant nation Iran.
