Men's 10m Air Pistol Final Rules - Explained
The rules for the final are a bit different. And no the shooters will not get 60 shots like in the qualification.
The shooters will get to shoot two series of five shots each before the match heads into the second stage of Elimination. After that, every two-shot the lowest-ranked shooter will be eliminated and we will have the winner by the 24th shot. The one who survives will be called an Olympic Champion for the rest of his life.
If the scores are tied in during the time of elimination, we will have a one shot shoot-off. The one who survives goes on, the other bids goodbye!
