Michael has only just returned from Poland where he had an outstanding performance at the World Cup event winning a silver medal.

Johnson has been named amongst nine international athletes by the International Paralympic Committee as the ‘Ones to Watch’ for this event.  He has set his targets for this event and says, “It would be really great to win two medals, but I know it will be challenging with the high level of competition from around the world.”

Michael will be joined by experienced shooters Greg Reid and Grant Philip who have represented New Zealand in the past.

PNZ High Performance Director Malcolm Humm says, “This is a small but high quality team and one that is full of experience.. Michael Johnson is a world leader in Para-Shooting having medalled at the last 3 Paralympic Games. His experience and knowledge has filtered through to other Para-Shooting athletes, this being no more evident than seeing the quality performances of Greg and Grant over the past 18 months at IPC Shooting World Cups.”
