About Petri Nummela

  • Petri Nummela (born June 17, 1971 in Hollola) is a Finnish sport shooter.
  • He was selected to compete for Finland at the 2004 Summer Olympics, finishing fourteenth in trap shooting.
  • Having pursued the sport since the age of fourteen, Nummela trained full-time for Lahti Shooting Club (Finnish: Lahden Ampumaseura) in Lahti under his personal coach and brother Matti Nummela.Nummela qualified for the Finnish squad in the men's trap at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens.
  • Few months before the Games, he finished third at the World Cup meet in Sydney to occupy the Olympic quota place won by his compatriot Tommi Andelin, who had attained a minimum qualifying score of 120, from the 2002 World Championships in Lahti.
  • Nummela got off to a powerful start by firing 73 out of 75 targets to secure a top finish on the first day, but his final rounds of a perfect 25 and a dismal 19-clay pigeon hit on the following day left him out from the top of the leaderboard to share a fourteenth-place tie with four other shooters, tallying a total record of 117.
