During qualification, athletes shoot from eight stations, targeting a total of 150 clays (75 targets each). They shoot down single and\/or double targets before moving to the next station. Precision, accuracy, and adaptability are essential as athletes navigate through the rounds. The top 4 teams advance to the final rounds, where they confront 48 additional targets. Depending on the station, the athletes shoot down 1 or 2 doubles, meaning they always call for 2 targets at the same time. The top two teams will enter a Gold Medal Match, while the 3rd and 4th teams will enter a Bronze Medal Match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n SEE THE START LIST AND FOLLOW RESULTS<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n READ MORE ABOUT AUSTRALIAN SHOOTING HISTORY HERE<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n The sun stayed behind the clouds for the remaining 50 targets of Skeet Women\u2019s qualification. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Aislin Jones<\/a> added to her Day One score of 67 out of 75 targets, with rounds of 23 and 22, resulting in a total qualification score of 112 out of 125. Aislin finished in 25th place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt has been an interesting couple of days with different conditions on both days. Today was overcast which actually made for a really nice background,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI am happy with the way I finished today, ending on a positive note and knowing what I can take into my second event tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Aislin made her Olympic debut in Rio where the total number of qualification targets was 75. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For her second Games in eight years, Aislin believes increasing the qualification targets for women to 125 was a positive change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGoing from 75 to 125 targets was such a positive change and made it the same number of targets for men and women,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTo be honest it is great to be able to shoot two days of competition instead of travelling all around the world for just one day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n In comparing the competition between men and women, Aislin noted the rise of women in both trap and skeet events. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou can now see some of the scores for women are comparable to the men. I think this is fantastic to see,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEight years on for me, from my first Olympic Games, I have really worked on being able to acknowledge an error in a round and come back from it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt is a true testament to the experience I have had and I can now back myself, knowing that I am capable.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n With individual competition now complete for Aislin, her focus turns to the Skeet Mixed Teams event, where she will compete with Aussie teammate Joshua Bell<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMixed Teams has been an enjoyable event and I think Josh and I work really well together,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe are still out there shooting individually but we can pull each other up when we need to and give that extra push when you need it. It is really nice to support each other in that way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
