Beijing 2008 women's skeet Olympic champion Chiara Cainero and Rio 2016 Olympic men's skeet champion Gabriele Rossetti topped the qualifying event at the Shooting Club with 146 points.

Just behind and joining their compatriots in the final were Rio 2016 women's skeet gold medallist Diana Bacosi and Riccardo Filippelli, the pair finishing on 144 points. 

It was a close affair in the final, with both teams finishing on 33.

Cainero and Rossetti edged the shootout, however, triumphing 11-10. 

"We are a very strong team," Cainero said of the all-Italian final. 

"We are used to training together. 

"We are friends and then we are competitors when we go to the range. 

"It is good training for us."

There was another shootout in the bronze medal clash, Czech duo Jakub Tomecek and Barbora Sumova winning 4-3.

They and their opponents, Britain's Amber Hill and Ben Llewellin, had both scored 32.
