Target Sprint World Championships
Donation protected
My name is Oliver Vass, I am a 21 years old Great Britain Target Sprint Athlete. My quest since starting the sport in 2015 has been to compete and represent team GB at the World Championships and other international competitions.
Target Sprint is a sport which combines running and shooting. The event consists of running 3 x 400 metres which are interspersed with 2 lots of shooting( 2 x 5 knockdown targets at 10 m using an air rifle).
I have been competitively target shooting for around 6 years and was introduced to Target Sprint after having a strong interest in fitness and athletics. Since picking up the sport in 2015 I have developed as an athlete and consistently reduced my personal best times.
I am currently ranked number one in the UK, in the senior men's category (over 21). I have recently returned from competing in my first international competition in Italy, wherein the senior men's category I came 11th among a world-class athlete start list. I am honoured to have been selected for an international competition in Germany at the end of June 2018 and the World Championships in South Korea, September 2018. Despite this, I desperately seeking support in order to help me fund these international competitions.
Unfortunately, as Target Sprint is a developing sport, there is currently no funding which means I will have to self-fund all aspects, from training to international competitions. Having just completed my degree at the University of Surrey, I have been relying on my part-time job to help fund training and competitions. As international competitions approach, I am struggling to fund these competitions.
Any support or help wherever possible would be a massive help. It would allow me to continue with training and take part in international competitions. Any funding received will go towards training, international competitions including travel, kit and competition entry fees. I would be highly grateful for any support to help me achieve my sporting ambitions.
Many thanks,
Oliver Vass
