Paris 2024 Olympics, immediately two medals for Italy in the second day
Two medals in one fell swoop for Italy in one of the first competitions on the second official day of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
In the shooting, men’s 10-meter air pistol specialty, the gold è went to China’s Yu Xie, but the other two steps of the podium are Italian.
Federico Nilo Maldini, a 23-year-old native of Bologna, took the silver medal with 240.0 points, only nine-tenths behind Xie.
On the lowest step of the podium, with the bronze medal around his neck, came Paolo Monna, a 26-year-old native of Fasano, with 218.6 points.
Maldini was at his first Olympic participation, Monna at his second: in Tokyo he had been 26th.
