WELLINGTON School student Theo Ling has become the youngest person to win the World ABT Clay Pigeon Shooting Championship in the under 21 category.
Theo, aged 15, now has his sights set on the 2020 Olympic Games after his success at the Fauxdegla Premier Shooting Ground, in Wrexham, which saw him crowned World Junior Champion in the Olympic Trench discipline.
The contest saw 15 traps set up in a trench, each firing clays at different heights, speeds and angles in the most difficult form of clay pigeon shooting.
Earlier this summer, Theo travelled to Maribor in Slovenia where he competed in the European Championships at Maribor, in Slovenia, where he also completed in an under 21 team event, winning silver.
The Year 11 student has been shooting since he was eight and is the brother of Ed Ling, who competed for Great Britain in the London 2012 Olympics and has won the World and European Championships.
His father, Stephen Ling, was a GB Olympic coach and British champion for the GB team and has been training his sons.
