Team GB's Ed Ling misses out on trap medals

Team GB's Ed Ling finishes fourth in the men's trap shooting event at the European Games as Russia's Alexey Alipov claims gold.

Team GB's Ed Ling has narrowly missed out on a medal in the men's trap final at the European Games, finishing fourth in Baku this morning.

The 32-year-old progressed from the qualifiers earlier, but had to shoot in the bronze medal match after posting the fourth-highest score in the semi-final.

The Great Britain shooter faced Giovanni Pellielo of Italy for the final spot on the rostrum, but the 45-year-old came out on top, winning 13-11.

The gold-medal match was a closely-fought contest between Russia's Alexey Alipov and Erik Varga of Slovakia, who had posted the joint-highest score in qualifying, before the latter topped the standings in the semis.

It was Alipov who came out on top in the final though, beating the Serbian 15-14 to win his country's 14th gold of the Games.
