Hoang Xuan Vinh to take part in ISSF World Cup in India
Translated by Thu Minh 12:19, 2017/01/16
Marksman and Olympic winner Hoang Xuan Vinh is scheduled to participate in the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) World Cup, which will be organised from February 22 to March 4 in India.
The ISSF World Cup will be his first international tournament after the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.
Marksman Vinh will take part in the 10m air pistol and 50m pistol categories, his strong points.
He won the gold medal at Rio and is world No 1 in the 10m category, and is world No 2 in the 50m category, after he lifted the silver in Rio.
In India, shooter Vinh will compete with strong rivals such as Wang Zhiwei of China, Felipe Almeida Wu of Brazil and Tomoyuki Matsuda of Japan, all high-ranking shooters.

Beside Vinh, other Vietnamese shooters will also fly to New Delhi to compete in the pistol and rifle events, including medal-winner Ha Minh Thanh, who came third in the men’s 25m rapid pistol event in Bangkok last year.
The tournament will go on through March 4.
Prior to his wins in Rio 2016 Olympic Games, Vinh has brought home one silver (50m pistol) and one bronze (10m air pistol) from the ISSF World Cup.
After India, Vietnam will participate in two other World Cups, in Germany in May and Azerbaijan in June.
