as for deadeyedick, I have spent an hour or so googling for information.
how sad that the gold medal winner in RFP seems to have nothing more (in the english language) than the Olympic releases and various attempts to 'rewrite' that release so that it looks original.
Given that as all Olympic Finalists pass through the 'mixed zone' to exit a Final, did nobody interview him AND publish the interview???
For the unitiated, a mixed zone at an olympics is set up SPECIFICALLY so that all the finalists can be interviewed by the media - they have to exit through the mixed zone.

There were two in the 25 women final Gundegmaa OTRYAD (silver) and Munkhbayar DORJSUREN (bronze).jbshooter wrote:Were there any Walther SSP's on the line - this question from someone who has just purchased one....
Gundegmaa OTRYAD had problems with her SSP during the final and probably lost gold due to these problems (she end up the qualifications with 5 points of advantage on Ying Chen and 3 on Munkhbayar DORJSUREN and was leading before the problems with her pistol).[/list]
Ekimov uses a IZH-35, and I think Stoukachev, too (Final WC Milano). Aliferenko has some pistol that looks like the famous .32 Bulldog. Bondaruk has something that pretty much looks like a -35, but I'm not sure about that, could be a derivative. And I wouldn't exactly classify Schumann's pistol as "Pardini", it's more like a giant absorber with some Pardini parts attached :-) There are other pistols around, too - I remember a Finish guy using a Tesro, Jorge Llames of Spain and Thibaut Sauvage of France using Matchguns, Rene Vogn of Denmark shoots a AW93, Pupo of Cuba a GSP. So, not all Pardinis, although of course there are a lot of them.
PS: I wonder how Klimov managed to tune that trigger - all Benellis I have seen so far have a overall trigger travel miles long...
