Amber Rutter Demands Apology Over Judging Error

Amber Rutter, a Team GB shooter, is demanding an apology and accountability from the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) after a controversial judging error cost her an Olympic gold medal in the women's skeet final in Paris.

Rutter and her coach protested the decision and have called for the implementation of VAR technology to ensure fair play in future competitions. She emphasized the need for experienced and exceptional judging, or new technologies to prevent similar errors. Rutter expressed that every athlete deserves a fair playing field, especially at the Olympic Games, and highlighted that other shooters also experienced questionable decisions during the final. She aims to spark change in the sport to prevent such issues from recurring.
