(BEIJING, August 12) — China’s Tan Zongliang will regret his first and last shot in the final of the Men’s 50m Pistol for a long time.
The 7.9 points from his first shot, the worst among all his shots in the final, wrote off the two-point lead that he gained in the qualification round. In the qualification round, Tan shot a total of 565, while the other five shooters were tied on 563.
Tan’s mistake gave Jin Jong-oh of the Republic of Korea the opportunity to win the gold medal with a final score of 660.4. The silver medal was won by Kim Jong-su of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, who shot a final score of 660.2, while Tan won a consolation bronze with a final score of 659.5.
Jin still gave Tan a chance to win the gold medal though. Kim only scored 8.2 on his last shot, which meant second-placed Tan could still win gold if he scored more than 10.1 on his last shot. Tan, however, could only shoot 9.2 and instead of winning gold, Tan bid farewell to silver as well because Kim overtook Tan with an outstanding 10.5 on his last shot.
The bronze medal is 37-year-old Tan’s first medal from four Olympics.
