Beijing : Chinese shooter Lin Zhongzai won the gold medal in the men’s 50-meter pistol with 667.2 points despite a not-so-perfect ending at the Good Luck Beijing ISSF World Cup here Tuesday.
Hot-pursuing Kazakhstan marksman Rashid Yunusmetov snatched the silver with 666 points, a distant victory from American Daryl Szarenski who clinched the bronze with 663.4 points.
Topped in the qualification round with 571 points, Lin, 27, who was champion in this discipline at the 2007 World Cup Final held in Bangkok, showed his capacity during the final and pulled away from the second after the next-to-last shot in the ten-shot final with four points.
