Summary

Czechoslovakia’s Miroslav Varga fired a perfect 600 in qualifying. He had finished early before threatening weather brought poor visibility to some of the later shooters. He maintained his lead in the final to win the gold medal, although Korea’s Cha Young-Chul closed with a higher final round, but Varga still was 1.1 points better overall.
