Are any of the events broadcast?

Broadcast in Europe perhaps. I just watch the finals videos on the ISSF YouTube channel a day or a few later, whenever they get the editing done.

The 10 metre air rifle men's final is now published. Very exciting finish!

They're having internet problems in Granada. The ISSF web site says:

"Due to faulty internet line at the Granada's shooting range, the Live Results and also the ISSF TV videos upload are delayed. We apologized for the inconvenience. "

Speaking from recent experience Spanish Internet is barely faster than carrier pigeon at best!

Come on!!! I "probably could almost never" had a single internet problem, as I can't remember having any, and my optical fiber connection is fast. I could have it faster if I needed. You get what you pay for. Is it different in other countries?.

I worked with a Gallego who was sent by his Spanish company to the US to teach the improved phone and data systems available in Europe. He's now a US citizen (and a rabid shooter).

BTW Did you note a Polish woman AP shooter was DQd for trigger weight?

I thought if you have trigger weight problem you can adjust right there and then. Unless they have a rule that says that they will check the weight after the match.

ISSF rules section 6.7.9

Actually, Rule 8.4.2.3

Actually, both, though 'ISSF Rule 8.4.2.3 Trigger weight' was the one quoted (and the rule more directly applicable).

The 10 metre air pistol women's final is published. That was tense!

Just to prove that it's not too unusual, it's just happened to a man in the AP60 as well.

No friggin' kidding! Down to 1 shot left for the gold and exactly tied, with a first-time World Cup shooter taking it. And that second-last shot; two 10.2 shots in the same spot within about 1mm. An amazing match.

It was great. I think it was one of the best finals I've ever seen.

The best final ever all time is the 1992 Olympics Free Pistol Final. IMHO Bar none.

IMHO, 1996 Atlanta 50m Final.
I 'happened' to be videoing the last few shots from an insider position on the Finals range...
Drama, pathos, the lot!
