Quota place for Olympics also secured
Manx shooter Tim Kneale has won silver at the ISSF World Championship in Italy.
Competing for Great Britain in the Double Trap event, he finished three clays behind Russian Vasily Mosin in the gold medal match.
There was some consolation for Kneale, though, in that his performance secured a quota place for GB at next year's Olympics in Rio, which all but guarantees him a spot in the team.
