ISSF Olympic trap
Olympic Trap is a shooting sport discipline contested at the Olympic Games and sanctioned by the International Shooting Sport Federation. Usually referred to simply as "trap", the discipline is also known in the United States as international trap, bunker trap, trench or international clay pigeon. It is considered more difficult than most other trap versions in that the distance to the targets and the speed with which they are thrown are both greater.

Until 1992, the Olympic trap event was open to both men and women. In 1996, it was open to men only, and from 2000 men and women have had separate competitions.

The course of fire is 125 targets in the qualification round for both men and women since 2018. In 2005, the final rules were changed so that only one shot can be taken at each target, as opposed to two in the qualification round. The competitors use shotguns of 12 bore or smaller. Aside from pump-action shotguns, any type of shotgun may be used - including semi-automatics.

Following the 2016 Rio Olympics, the ISSF created a new event, Mixed Team Trap. The mixed team consists of one male and one female shooter. During the qualification rounds, each team is squadded with two other teams and each shooter shoots 25 targets per round, just as in the individual event. This continues for 3 rounds (75 targets per shooter, 150 targets per team). The finals are contested between the top 6 teams. Shooters take turns shooting 5 targets each (1 rotation) for 5 rotations (25 targets), at which time the lowest scoring is eliminated. Another team is eliminated each 5 targets until the final two teams are left. The final two teams shoot 10 targets to determine a winner, for a total of 50 targets in the finals.

The first World Championship for Mixed Team was held at the 2017 World Shotgun Championships in Moscow, RUS.
