Tangier. José Faria and Inês Barros win silver at the Trap World Cup

José Faria and Inês Barros won the silver medal this Thursday in the mixed team trap event at the Shotgun World Cup held in Tangier, Morocco, marking one of the best recent results for the Portuguese national team in this stage of the international circuit organised by the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF). The Portuguese duo secured their place in the final after finishing the qualification round in second place, behind the Italian team, remaining in contention for the medals among the competition's top squads. In the decisive phase, Portugal guaranteed a podium finish by overcoming the Czech Republic in the battle for bronze and then contested the gold against Italy, who ultimately won the final. Inês Barros is one of the leading figures in Portuguese shooting, having already reached finals in major competitions and achieved high world rankings, while José Faria continues to establish himself among the best national specialists in the discipline. The silver medal in Tangier comes in a particularly competitive event, part of the official Shotgun World Cup calendar, one of the main stages of the international circuit that regularly brings together Olympic, World, and European champions. With this result, the Portuguese team strengthens its position among the top nations in the mixed team trap discipline.
