Rutter wants ‘apology for incorrect decision’ that ended gold medal hopes
Britain's Amber Rutter practising before the Skeet Women's Final at the Chateauroux Shooting Centre on the ninth day of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games in France, August 4, 2024

AMBER RUTTER says she is owed an apology from shooting’s international governing body after she missed out on an Olympic gold medal in Paris.

Rutter had to settle for silver in the women’s skeet final on August 4 after she was judged to have missed a shot, even though television replays appeared to show she had clipped the target.

She and her coach protested at the time, and on Tuesday she again called for a “fair playing field” in her sport, either through improved judging or the use of VAR technology which is present in other shooting competitions run under the auspices of the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF).
