China's Li wins gold in men's 25m rapid fire pistol

CHATEAUROUX,: China's Li Yuehong won gold in the men's 25 metres rapid fire pistol event at the Paris Olympics with South Korea's Cho Yeong-jae taking silver and China's Wang Xinjie the bronze.

It was a China one-two in the qualification round and the trend continued as Li and Wang started off with a perfect five-from-five in the final on Monday.

Cho managed to sandwich himself between the Chinese pair but Li ran away with the gold, scoring 32 points for a comfortable win against the South Korean, who scored 25.

A perfect sixth series earned Li a two-point lead and the 34-year-old capitalised on it to win his first Olympic gold after winning bronze in the last two Games.
