 Today's update sees the 10m Air Rifle (Men) event completed.
Declan Kelly and Richard Stapleton both shot earlier today. Declan put in a 97, 93, 93, 94, 97, 95 for a total of 569, and while Richard took a different route (94, 96, 95, 94, 94, 96) he also put in a 569. This gave them joint 84th place, though while in the bottom third of the board, they were a comfortable distance from dead last (which dubious honour went to Hong Kong shooter Sek Hong Choi with 531).
The top end of the leader board was dominated by the usual big names, with Jie Li of China taking Bronze, Jozef Gonci taking Silver. However newcomer Min Ho Cheon of Korea took Gold with a commanding four-point lead going into the finals on 599, on just his first international appearance.
Min Ho Cheon (KOR)
Jozef Gonci (SVK)
The lowest score for entry into the final was 595 and on countback at that - but entering at the bottom of the final was no handicap, since Josef Gonci managed to take Silver from a 595 start, and finished only 2.1 points behind Min Ho Cheon.
