Where were the jury folks?

As a matter of fact, that distance could easily be less than 1.00 m. 1 m is just under 39.4".

It doesn't matter to somebody determined to find a scandal.

No scandal here Willy, not when the match officials are told:
"који курац гледаш"

Are you trying to show off your fluency in Serbo-Croatian (or is is just Serbian since the dissolution of Yugoslavia)?

Your picture does not indicate distance from the floor, nor does it show a pistol transport box being used as a support. So, what's your point - in plain English for us poor folks who lack your linguistic expertise?

Can't see it in the image, google translate says "what the fuck are you looking at"

Speaking of "Where's the Jury?":
Mikec: Men's AP FINALS, Lane F:
Mikec: 5'10"; 178cm
Does THIS look like "less than 1.00 meters"?

8.6.3 Pistol Support Stands
Athletes may place pistol support stands or boxes on the bench or table to rest their pistols between shots. The total height of the bench or table with a support stand or box on it may not exceed 1.00 m (see Rule 6.4.11.10, maximum bench height is 1.00 m). During Elimination or Qualification Rounds, a pistol transport box (Rule 8.6.3) may be used as a pistol support stand, provided the total height of the bench or table plus the box does not exceed 1.00 m. During Finals, a pistol transport box may not be used as a pistol support stand.

Those boxes usually are around 70cm high. The rules define the height of the box/stand between 70cm and 1m
It doesn't seem like his stand is over 1m...
If he is 1,78cm that means the support can be well past his mind point... I don't see an infactrion here...

Rhetorical question (which means it doesn't call for a reply): How much of this brouhaha is a result of her being Chinese?

None. If one of my shooters showed up in rifle to a USAS PTO, Selection or Nationals event, there is no doubt in my mind that one of our officials would have this straightened out even before PET in open training.

This is a pure lack of courage on the part of the Olympic officials.

"10m Air Pistol Grips: No part of the grip, frame or accessories may touch any part of the wrist"

They used to ask you to shake the pistol to see if it could touch. Now the competitors are gluing wood onto the back of the grip to lock the pistol into the wrist touching the ulna (lower arm bone). Sad. It does explain why Steyr and Morini are the favored pistols since they are shorter, allowing more wood to be glued onto the back of the pistol.
