| Subject of the stamp: | Authorized by the European Marksmanship Federation, the Czech Marksmanship Union will host the European Championship in Marksmanship in 2003. The Army Marksmanship Stadium in Plzeň will be the venue between the 17th and 28th July of the competitions in rifle disciplines, pistol disciplines, and in shooting at a moving target. A competition in pellet disciplines will take place between the 30th July and 6th August in Brno. Marksmanship is one of the so-called technical sports which has been included in the Olympic contests since the first modern Olympic Games. Czech marksmen have a rather impressive record, as is attested by the 216 medals won by them in Olympic Games and World and European championships since 1993. |
