HS Shooting Cup: The Hajdú-Biharians performed well in the national final
Budapest – The most recently formed division in Hajdúböszörmény could already celebrate the podium.
On March 11, the BOK Sports Hall in Budapest hosted the national final of the HS Rifle Cup – Air Gun Rifle Competition organized by the National Defense Sports Association. The competitors of the Debrecen Shooting School Sports Association and the Hajdúböszörmény Gymnastics Association, as well as the students of the Károly Kratochvil Honvéd Secondary School and College represented Hajdú-Bihar County.
The competition, which was organized for amateur shooters, was open to four categories – high school girls and boys, and adult women and men – who were able to qualify for the national final, first in local and then regional finals.
In high school girls, Ivett Bakó won a bronze medal with 187 laps at the Hajdúböszörmény Gymnastics Association. Kratochvil’s starter, Kornélia Csákányos, finished in fifth place in the category with 185 laps, Zsófia Pető, shooter of the Debrecen Shooting School SE, finished in thirteenth place.
Kratochvil student László Benák finished third in the boys’ field. There was a tie here – Benák again scored 188 rounds as his second and fourth place rivals – the number of tens decided the final order. Balogh Patrik Zsigmond and Szabó Nimród (Kratochvil) also finished in the top ten, Balogh finished fifth and Szabó finished eighth.
In adult women, the starter of the Debrecen Shooting School SE, Bernadett Fleischer, could stand on the podium. Judit Petőné Kiss, who also represents DLSE, finished in fifth place, Noémi Pető from Hajdúböszörmény finished in seventh place, and Márta Kátai Szövetes (DLSE) in ninth place. In the case of adult men, Ferenc Teleki from Hajdúböszörmény finished in eighth place, his teammate László Molnár finished ninth, and DLSE rider József Cimre took twelfth place.
The team of Károly Kratochvil Honvéd Secondary School and College László Benák, Patrik Zsigmond Balogh and Nimród Szabó won a silver medal in the team competition of high school students. There was no podium team in Hajdú-Bihar in the adult field, but the good relationship between the competitors of the Debrecen Shooting School and the Hajdúböszörmény Gymnastics Association is shown by the fact that both teams slipped off the podium after shooting 542-542 laps.
– He was represented in our team with six people in the final, Ivett Bakó was the only one to start among the younger ones. Overall, I was satisfied with the results, I am especially proud of Ivett Bakó’s bronze medal, especially in the light of the fact that our department was formed last year and the trainings started with us in December. Ivett also started shooting four months ago, I think it’s really a word that we managed to prepare him in such a short time so that he could stand on the podium in a national competition. Already in the regional race, I was surprised that six of our nine entrants advanced. We had a great time in the final, all our competitors and we, the coaches, have a lot of experience, and in the future we aim to achieve even better results. We would like to thank László Pető for his help, we started the work of the department based on his principles and advice, so he is also part of these successes – shared Krisztián Vezendi, technical director of the Hajdúböszörmény Gymnastics Association.
László Pető, the director of the Debrecen Shooting School Sports Association, said that in addition to youth education, it is a matter of the association’s heart to deal with amateurs, and the competition of the National Defense Sports Association was precisely for this purpose.
– We could also enter those who shot in the past, but have already moved away from the sport, and the parents of children who play sports with us have also entered the competition. The competition series gave good feedback that we can effectively pass on our knowledge to amateurs as well. I would like to single out Bernadette Fleischer, who works at our club and takes part in the education of the university students, but she took part in the competition and performed well in all the rounds – evaluated László Pető.
As the president of the Hajdú-Bihar County Sport Shooting Association, about the participation of the Károly Kratochvil Honvéd High School and College, “the students of Kratochvil are developing very well, they have been performing better in competitions in the last five or six years. Their instructors set a good example, and in this series of competitions they also started to represent the school in addition to the young people. I know they will be coming to the upcoming Student Olympics with a crowded team, which I am very happy about. ”
