the athlete of the week Shooter Laura Coman

The Romanian shooter Laura Coman has yet again demonstrated she is in excellent form. On Saturday in Wroclaw, Poland, she won a new title at the 10m European Shooting Championships. She also won the title last year in Osijek, in Croatia. This time around in Poland, she had only ranked third in the qualifiers, with 629.6 points. Norway's Jenny Stene was in first place with 623.3 points and Russia's Anastasia Galashina was in second with 630.9 points. In the final, however, Coman won with 251.2 points, closely followed by Galashina. Serbia's Andrea Arsovic was in third place with 228.9 points. Let us also note that, according to the competition's Twitter page, Laura Coman was the only European champion from Osijek to defend her title in Wroclaw.


Laura Coman was born in Bucharest on 30th April 1993. She has been practicing the sport since 2010 and has been taking part in competitions since 2012. She is a member of the Dinamo Sports Club in Bucharest, where her coach is Olimpiu Marin. She is currently ranked third in the world standings in the 10m shooting event, being the highest ranked shooter from Europe. This year, Coman's main objective is winning an Olympic medal in Tokyo, being considered Romania's best chance in shooting. It is also worth noting that Romania relatively recently won an Olympic title in 10m shooting, Alin Moldoveanu at the 2012 London Games.
