ABU DHABI, Oct 13 (KUNA) -- Kuwaiti shooter Khaled Al-Mudhaf and Australia's Catherine Skinner clinched mixed trap gold medals at the World Cup in the United Arab Emirates on Sunday.
The duo edged Luxembourg's Lyndon Sosa and Australian Laetisha Scanlan by three shots with Croat Josip Glasnovic and American Aeriel Alease Skinner trailing in third at the emirate of Al-Ain.
Commenting on his triumph, Al-Mudhaf said he was glad to have won the medal for Kuwait, being his country's only representative at the tournament.
The newly-introduced event pits top seeded shooters of both genders, who are drawn together randomly in pairs.
The victory sees the Kuwaiti jump two spots to third on the trap men's world rankings. (end) bsu.sd
