Sweden's Jonas Jacobsson has again taken a first place position at the 2010 International Paralympic Committee (IPC) Shooting World Championships.

On July 20, Jacobsson had taken first in the Men's 50m Rifle 3x40 event. Australia's Ashley Phillip Adams came in fourth place in the event.

On July 22, the World Championships had a special visit from the British Ambassador in Croatia, HM Ambassador David Graeme Blunt, where he was able to catch in on the precision and accuracy of the Paralympic Sport at its highest level.

The 2010 IPC Shooting World Championships continue through July 24 in Zagreb, Croatia. A total of 246 athletes from 43 countries and regions compete in 31 medal events, including 17 individual and 14 team events.

Shooting is governed by the IPC and co-ordinated by the IPC Shooting Technical Committee following the modified rules of the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF). These rules take into account the differences that exist between Shooting for the able-bodied and Shooting for persons with a disability.(The End)
