Sports
A key area of the Thuringian Shooting Association is the promotion and development of competitive sport in the Olympic shooting disciplines . The outstanding athlete in the ranks of the TSB was the 3-time Olympic champion and 4-time world and 13-time European champion with the rapid-fire pistol Ralf Schumann (Förderverein SSZ Suhl), who ended his active career in 2012 and is now working as a trainer. TSB currently has two athletes in the "Top Team Rio", Christiane Göhring (Trap, FV SSZ Suhl) and Nadine Messerschmidt (Skeet / FV SSZ Suhl), so hot contenders for participation in the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro In addition, there are a number of promising squad athletes such as Christian Freckmann (Schnellfeuerpistole / SG Rockstedt), Maximilian Schenk (Schnellfeuerpistole / BSC Erfurt) and also Tino Mohaupt, already a two-time Olympic participant (air rifle / FV SSZ Suhl) is doing well. But also young talents such as Katrin Wieslhuber (Skeet, Junior European Champion 2015 and Junior Vice World Champion 2014), Felix Raab (Skeet / FV SSZ Suhl) or in the bow sector Michelle Kroppen, Adrian Scheiding and Konrad Komischke (all GuthsMuts Jena) are an expression of the successful youth work in the association.
