PT1 event

Spain’s Pedro Gomez Albendea will be defending his world title from Granada 2024 against home favourite Jaroslav Klimes, who put Czechia on the Para Trap World Championships podium for the first time with his PT1 bronze medal last year.

Martin Bartos and Roman Telicka are the other Czech athletes in the event. Bartos picked a silver medal at the International Sellier & Bellot WSPS Grand Prix last month, finishing behind Murat Pelit of Switzerland – who is also competing in the Worlds.

The event will also see in action two other PT1 world champions, Davide Fedrigucci of Italy (Lima 2023) and Neofytos Nikolay of Cyprus (Lonato 2021). The 2021 world champion in the PT3 class, Italy’s Emilio Poli will make his World Championships debut in the PT1.

PT2 event

Finland’s two-time world champion Vesa Jarvinen (Lonato 2018 and Al Ain 2022) has only missed out on the podium twice since the inaugural edition at Lonato 2018. 

He took the bronze medal last year in Granada and will be up against gold medallist Filip Marinov of Slovakia and Fabrizio Cormons of Italy – who are both competing at Brno 2025.

Cormon is also the 2023 world champion. Other previous gold medallists vying for a new title in Czechia are Italy’s Alessandro Spagnoli (Sydney 2019) and Spain’s Ignacio Javier Oloriz (Lonato 2021). Spangoli also won last month’s GP in Brno.

PT3 event

Italy has claimed PT3 gold in all previous six World Championships and the last three had the same winner, Gabrielle Nanni. He comes to Brno as the name to beat, having picked another triumph at the WSPS World Cup in Changwon, South Korea earlier this year. 

Brazil’s Alexandro Basso picked a bronze medal in Changwon, putting his country on the podium for the first time in a Para Trap World Cup. He will also be in action in Brno, alongside Changwon silver medallist Ahmad Buhaleeba of UAE – Lima 2023 World Championships bronze.

Spain’s Adrian Castillo Becker and Italy’s Mirko Caffagi will be keen to change the colour of their medals, following their silver and bronze, respectively, in Granada last year.
