After our athletes’ stellar performances at the CAT Games, the U.S. has a total of 15 Olympic Quotas for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Each country is eligible for two quotas in each event. To date the U.S. has earned quotas in the following events: Women’s 10m Air Pistol, Women’s 25m Pistol, Women’s 10m Air Rifle (x2), Men’s 10m Air Rifle, Women’s 50m Rifle 3 Position (x2), Men’s 50m Rifle 3 Position, Men’s Trap (x2), Men’s Skeet (x2), Women’s Trap, and Women’s Skeet (x2).
U.S. shooting athletes compete at international competitions to earn Olympic quota spots about two years before the Olympic Games. When an athlete earns a quota for the U.S. in a specific event, the U.S. then becomes eligible to have an athlete compete in said event at the Olympic Games. Athletes are only eligible to earn one event quota in a four-year Olympic cycle.
Up next for USA Shooting is the ISSF President’s Cup. Athletes with a world ranking of 12 or higher are invited to the competition. Eleven U.S. athletes have been invited to the prestigious event this year. The following will be competing Vincent Hancock, Derrick Mein, Caitlin Connor, Austen Smith, Sam Simonton, Dania Vizzi, Will Hinton, Ali Weisz, Sagen Maddalena, Lucas Kozeniesky and Nick Mowrer.
