US shooter Vincent Hancock led the qualifying with 121. In the final he was clear thru 19 shots, but missed his 20th target, and was tied by Norway’s Tore Brovold, who was clear in the final with 25. Hancock was only 19-years-old, shooting in his first major international, while Brovold had been bronze medalist at the 2006 World Championships. But in the shoot-off, Hancock prevailed, making four consecutive birds and winning when Brovold missed his fourth shot. The favorites in the event struggled. Georgios Akhilleos of Greece, world-ranked #1 coming into Beijing, made the final, but finished only fifth. Defending champion Andrea Benelli of Italy placed only 24th. The two other Olympic gold medalists competing, Ennio Falco of Italy and Mykola Milchev of Ukraine, gold medalists at Sydney 2000 and Atlanta 1996, finished 15th and 32nd respectively.
