Great Britain shooting trio Ben Llewellin, Matt Coward-Holley and Nathan Hales have had to withdraw from the 2024 ISSF World Cup Final in New Delhi, India, due to “visa complications”.

British Shooting confirmed the set-back in a statement released on Sunday.

“We regret to announce that… Matt Coward-Holley, Nathan Hales, and Ben Llewellin have had to withdraw… unfortunately, this decision was made due to visa complications that could not be resolved in time for their participation,” British Shooting said.

“Our athletes have worked tirelessly throughout the season and were looking forward to competing at this prestigious event, where they had qualified based on their outstanding performances in 2024.

“British Shooting shares their disappointment and will continue to support them as they refocus their efforts on future competitions.”

The event is talking place from 13-18 October.
