Jitu Rai claimed the Pistol Champions Trophy, beating Serbia’s Damir Mikec in the final rush by 29.6 to 28.3 points ... Rio 2016 Olympic Champion Anna Korakaki was left in third place at the end of the elimination round ... With this win Jitu Rai pocketed the 5.000,00 € prize money of the winner.

The rules of the Trophy are easy and challenging: only the ISSF World Cup Final medalists are eligible to participate in the Champions Trophy, and they are allowed to choose between a 10m Air Rifle and a 10m Air Pistol match ... The matches are conducted in an elimination fashion: after the first four shots, the athlete with the lowest score has to leave the firing line ... From there on, after every shot, the lowest ranked shooter is eliminated ... When only two athletes are left on the line, their scores are set back to zero, and three single shots are fired to determinate the winner of the Champions Trophy.
