Slovenia’s Rajmond Debevec was one of the great shooters of the 1990s, having twice been named the international shooter of the year. He also held world records in both air rifle and small-bore three positions. In this event, he had been world record holder since 1991, but he had yet to win an Olympic medal. In the preliminary round he led with 1,177 and increased his lead in the finals, winning gold by 4.6 points over Finland’s Juha Hirvi. The bronze medalist, Harald Stenvaag (NOR), had been silver medalist in small-bore prone in 1992, while the fourth-place finisher, Artem Khadzhibekov (RUS) had been gold medalist in the 1996 air rifle.
