Free Pistol, 50 metres, Men

Date	12 August 2008
Status	Olympic
Location	Beijing Shejiguan, Beijing
Participants	45 from 32 countries

Korea’s Jin Jong-O had won the silver medal in Athina, but the favorite was China’s Tan Zongliang, the 2006 World Champion. Tan led the qualifying with 565 with four shooters posting 563, including Jin, but Jin moved into the lead early in the final round and held on to win the gold medal. The silver was initally won by DPR Korea’s (North) Kim Jong-Su, who moved into second only on his last shot, posting a 10.5. Tan scored only a 7.9 on his first shot of the final, dropping him out of the lead and he seemed to have placed third for bronze, but Kim was later disqualified during the Olympics for doping with propranolol, a beta-blocker that slows the heart rate, moving Tan up to silver with Vladimir Isakov receiving the bronze. Kim also lost a bronze medal from the air pistol in Beijing.
