Van Nus will make her Olympic debut after she was named as the shooter for the50m rifle – 3 positions event in Beijing. The 25-year old missed out on a place at the Athens Olympics after finishing fourth in the selection trials but has performed well over the past 12 months, including winning the 2007 Oceania Championships in her pet event, to secure her ticket to the 2008 Games.
Van Nus is currently based in Melbourne at the Melbourne International Shooting Centre, where she is coached full time by her mother Tricia who was an international shooter herself in the early 1980s.
A full profile and biography of Robyn Van Nus is available on the official AOC website – http://olympics.com.au/Athletes/TheTeam/tabid/343/Athletes/TheTeam/tabid/344/Default.aspx?cId=34549&teamId=20.
