The two-time defending champion was Poland’s Józef Zapędzki. But on the first day, in the six-second stage, his pistol malfunctioned costing him 40 points. He lost only four other points in all other phases, and shot 299 on the second day, but would place only 45th of 48 shooters. Roberto Ferraris (ITA) and Jürgen Wiefel (GDR) led after day one with 299. But Wiefel’s teammate Norbert Klaar shot through without a miss on day two, to finish with 597 and the gold medal. Wiefel held on for the silver medal with 596, giving the GDR gold and silver in both events in 1976.
