spot onI really don't like this. A celebrity (and I use the term in the loosest possible sense) pitches up having apparently had no interest in the sport previously and the media, companies involved in the shooting industry and one or two shooters that ought to know better fawn over her in a silly attempt to raise their profile.
I wish Melanie Sykes all the best with her shooting but this unwarranted attention really is silly. There's many shooters out there who have a genuine chance of making the Olympic games yet get little or no recognition, publicity or support despite their obvious talent.
Shooting needs to get a grip. Give Mealnie Sykes credit if and when she achieves scores worthy of Olympic selection.
