Notes

Shoes belonging to Niccolo CAMPRIANI (ITA), triple Olympic champion in the 50m rifle 3 positions event and in the 10m air rifle event and silver medallist in the 10m air rifle event London 2012 and Rio 2016 ” I’m probably the only shooter who used the same pair throughout my sports career during 16 years. They’re pretty worn out. For the last five years, one of the soles was even half broken. Superstition? No… They were just comfortable.”
