Leonardo de Almeida, a reprensentative of the sport shooting, which will provide the first medals at the Rio games, said this about the sport: "Many people still have a certain prejudice against shooting, but its a very interesting sport," he said.

Filipe Fuzaro won his first shooting competition at 13. Now 32, he is the current record-holder and seven-time Brazilian champion in the fossa double category and represents the sport this Wednesday (20 July) carrying the Olympic torch in Rio Claro.
