Italy's Jessica Rossi has become a world champion for the fourth time in her career in the trap event, nine years after her last world title. At the World Championships in Lusail, Qatar, the Italian—who won Olympic gold in London 2012—finished ahead of the Paris 2024 Olympic champion, Guatemala's Adriana Ruano Oliva. Another Italian, Erica Sessa, placed fourth. Rossi's victory earned her a pass for Los Angeles 2028.
Italy also secured a team gold medal as Rossi, who had already won the individual title, repeated her success in the trap event alongside fellow Italians Erica Sessa and Silvana Maria Stanco. The team hit a total of 348 targets—eight more than the Czech Republic, who finished second, and Turkey, who took third place.
