Estonian Shooter Rene Zahkna Excluded from Otepää Sprint Race

Rene Zahkna will compete in the sprint race at the Otepää stage of the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) Mixed Regional Cup. The decision follows a change in the Estonian national team roster for the recent shooting sports championships in Oslo, Norway. Zahkna was removed from the team prior to the final stage, with Jaroslav Neverov selected as his replacement.

This alteration was made at the recommendation of the team’s coaches. According to Kauri Kõiv, the Estonian national shooting federation’s sports director, the decision to replace Zahkna was a strategic one. Kõiv informed Postimees that the coaches determined Neverov was the more suitable candidate for the competition.

The move highlights a shift in team selection within the Estonian shooting program. Zahkna’s participation in Otepää represents a return to competition following his earlier exclusion. The focus now shifts to Zahkna’s performance in the sprint race and his contribution to the Estonian team’s efforts.
