Free Rifle, Three Positions, 300 metres, Men

Date	3 – 5 September 1960
Status	Olympic
Location	Scuola di Fanteria dell'Esercito Italiano, Cesano
Participants	39 from 22 countries

The long-distance shooting range at the Italian Infantry School was completely exposed to the wind, which caused the competitors great problems with wind doping. On the day of the final round, the wind blew up a fine dust of the grading used in constructing the range. The event had to be delayed slightly and the shooters were given extra time to finish their rounds. The scores were well down as a result, with Austria’s Hubert Hammerer winning the gold medal with 1,129, far below the Olympic record of 1,138 set in 1956. That was set by Vasily Borisov, who competed in Rome and won the bronze medal. Hammerer, a former Waffen-SS member, had qualified for the 1948 and 1952 Olympics, but declined participation because only old Soviet weapons were available in Austria. At Rome, he used a new rifle by Swiss weaponmaker André Danner.
