During the last three days of the Championship the medals in Skeet were disputed. The European athletes, again, were very successful. The 2016 Olympic Champion Gabriele Rossetti from Italy won gold in the Men's event. He was followed up by Vincent Vaaga from Germany and Georgios Achilleos from Cyprus. The Skeet Women event was won by Dania Jo Vizzi from the USA. But the silver and bronze medals went, respectively, to Albina Shakirova from Russia and Andri Eleftheroiu from Cyprus.
Emil Kjelgaard Petersen from Denmark finished on top of the podium in Skeet Men Junior competitions. Elia Sdruccioli from Italy was second, Nikolas Vasililiou from Cyprus - third. It was only in Skeet Women Junior that the European shooters allowed Kathatina Monica Jacob, Austen Jewell Smitt and Samantha Simonton to win the complete set of medals for the USA.
The culmination of the Skeet competition was the Mixed Team event where the Russian duo Nikolay Teplyy and Nadezhda Konovalova outscored the USA pair Hayden Steward and Dania Jo Vizzi 30 to 27 before the overcrowded tribunes. All tickets for the day were sold out! The bronze medals went to Tammaro Cassandro and Katiuscia Spada from Italy.
All the Finals in Men's and Women's events were shown live on the Russian TV.
