Brit bang on target in Vegas

Great Britain Olympic medal hope Naomi Folkard took silver at the World Indoor Cup Final in Las Vegas. The 28-year-old from Kidderminster was beaten in the final by Ksenia Petrova of Russia, who edged her out of bronze medal position at last week's World Indoor Championships at the same venue. Folkard said: "It's great to get a medal at last, after fourth-place finishes last week and at the Nimes International event in France last month. "Ksenia has been shooting superbly recently, and I seem to have caught her at a time when she's in great form, but she shot really well." Edinburgh University's Naomi Jones, 19, took bronze in the women's compound competition.
