Anton Aristarkhov, Alexander Petrov and Alexander Kondrashin thrashed Ukraine's Maksym Horodynets, Bohdan Kyrylenko and Dmytro Honta by 22.0 points to 8.0 to ensure Russia defended their men's junior 10m air pistol title at the Audi Aréna.

The bronze medal match was far closer with Germany squeezing past Belarus by a 22-20 scoreline.

Russian domination continued in the women's junior 10m air pistol contest as Iana Enina, Ekaterina Chikanova and Olga Veretelnikova saw off competition from Italian trio Giulia Campostrini, Maria Varricchio and Brigida Margherita Veccaro thanks to a 22-10 win.

There was no bronze medal match for the women as Russia had been put straight through to the final after their excellent quarter-final performance, meaning Italy's semi-final opponents Ukraine completed the podium line-up.

Germany secured a second consecutive women's junior 10m air rifle crown thanks to a 22-10 win over Finland with Russia then recording a convincing 22-8 victory over Denmark to secure bronze.

The event continues tomorrow with more junior events whilst the senior shooters will also be returning to the stage.
