Hi to all,

Iranian athlete Javad Foroughi is again the world champion. Great success at the age of 41 from hundred odds to world championship twice.

That was a fun final to watch.

Help me understand the team events. There is a bronze medal match and a gold medal match. Who gets the silver? Is it the losers of the gold match?

Retro pellet box = new Eley Tenex Air box

Is the above now a permanent sign? Will this go on forever?

Anyone know if that R.I.P. free pistol sticker/decal is available for purchase somewhere?

Rest In Peace

Thanks, though couldn't read the name or the years.

[-TT-]

Technically it's "requiescat in pace" (Latin).

I think the name is "50m" above Free Pistol, and the dates "1896-2016". The stuff below all that, no clue.

hmmm
didn't make much sense but thanks for explaining.

Free pistol, which was seen as the ultimate precision discipline, was banished from Olympics in 2016. Plenty people are upset about this, including this Serbian athlete.

The cameraman made sure to focus on this multiple times too.

Now got it. Thanks again.

Indeed, 50 m. videos are from past years.

But why, it is fun to watch. Seems quite spectacular.
Though 50-60 g. trigger is insane and unnecessary. There must be many untold unfortunate events with such light triggers. I want it back, with some reasonable trigger weight.

[eugene]

That was the point of Free Pistol though: (almost) no restrictions on the gun. So trigger weight have evolved to what it was because it was optimal.

Found the source of the Russians triggering a free pistol with a connection to the hand NOT holding the pistol.
