London 2012: Shooting medals and record

XXX Olympic Games · London, GBR

390 athletes coming from 108 countries (a record for shooting) participated in 15 Olympic Shooting events, from July the 29th to August the 6th, at the Royal Artillery Barracks shooting venues, scoring 29 records.

Korean shooters took a big leap at the London 2012 Olympic Games taking the top position in the medal standings with three gold and two silver. Four years ago, they were sixth with one gold and one silver. China, who topped the tally at Beijing 2008 with five gold, still showed their strength in the sport, collecting seven medals in total, but were demoted to fourth in the rankings as they missed out on gold in many events.

 

Italian shooters where the real surprise of the XXX Olympic Games, with two Gold medals, and three Silver, placing the country in third place in the overall medal standings compared to a fifth place back in 2008.

 

London was a stage of success and high scores: 29 World or Olympic Records were set or equaled at the Royal Artillery Barracks, during the 2012 London Games.
