Niccolò Campriani hit a gold encore at the Rio De Janeiro Olympics. The Italian shooter, in the final of the 50-meter 3-position rifle, won the most valuable medal with a score of 458.8, overcoming Russian Kamenskiy right at the last shot. Bronze went to Frenchman Raynaud.
The Florentine shooter thus won his fourth medal at the Olympics, following the gold and bronze he won in London and the gold he won in the final of the 10-meter air rifle compressed only a few days ago.
It is the 19th laurel of the Italian group in Brazil: now the medal table counts 7 golds, 7 silvers and 5 bronzes.
“At the end I didn’t have any more, I got lucky,” Campriani’s words to Rai Sport.
