France at The 1924 Summer Olympics - Shooting

Shooting

Twenty-two sport shooters represented France in 1924. It was the nation's sixth appearance in the sport; France was one of three countries (along with Denmark and Great Britain) to have competed in each Olympic shooting contest. French shooters took two medals: Coquelin won the gold in the prone rifle and was a member of the five-man team which took silver in the team rifle.

Famous quotes containing the word shooting:

    “Power ceases in the instant of repose; it resides in the moment of transition from a past to a new state, in the shooting of the gulf, in the darting to an aim.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “My time has come.
    There are twenty people in my belly,
    there is a magnitude of wings,
    there are forty eyes shooting like arrows,
    and they will all be born.
    All be born in the yellow wind.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “... though it is by no means requisite that the American women should emulate the men in the pursuit of the whale, the felling of the forest, or the shooting of wild turkeys, they might, with advantage, be taught in early youth to excel in the race, to hit a mark, to swim, and in short to use every exercise which could impart vigor to their frames and independence to their minds.”
    —Frances Wright (1795–1852)
