VIETNAM'S
HOANG SET A NEW 10M AIR PISTOL MEN RECORD IN FORT BENNING
The Vietnamese shooter keeps on climbing the world
ranking. After winning last year's ISSF World Cup Stage in Changwon and making
it to the medals match of the 2013 ISSF World Cup Finals, he set a new 10m Air
Pistol Final World Record in Fort Benning, today.
Hoang Xuan Vinh, 39, from
Vietnam, won today's 10m Air Pistol Men final at the 2014 ISSF Rifle and Pistol
World Cup Stage in Fort Benning, GA, USA.
The Vietnamese athlete ranked 8th in the world pocketed
the Gold medal with a record score of 202.8 points in the final, which
shattered the previous 202.3-point record set by the 2008 Olympic Champion Pang
Wei of China at the Asian Championship, in March.
Hoang beat the two Russian
finalists Sergey Chervyakovskiy, 28, and Vladimir Gontcharov, 36, who finished
in second and third place with 202.3 and 181.3 points, respectively.
Gontcharov, a 14-time ISSF
World Cup medallist who started competing back in 1990, had been far from ISSF
podiums since 2012, when he had won his last medal – a bronze – at the Rifle
and Pistol World Cup Stage in Milan, Italy.
People's Republic of
China's Pang Wei, coming from a victory claimed at the Asian Championship in
Kuwait just 20 days ago, ended up in fifth place with 138.6 points, behind the
Japanese first-time finalist Horimizu Kojiro (fourth with 158.8 points).
Horimizu's teammate Matsuda Tomoyuki, the 2010 World Champion, ended up in
sixth place with 117.8 points.
