Jin's final effort pushed Choi into second place, with China's Wang Zhiwei taking bronze with 658.6 points. "I am so happy," said Jin. "I never expected a gold medal. I'd hoped for a bronze." Jin was lying in fifth place after the morning qualifying dominated by Choi, while world number one Damir Mikec of Serbia failed to earn a spot in the final as he finished 16th in the first phase.

His advantage dwindled throughout the final phase until the last shot, when Jin's 10.2 points to Choi's 8.1. "It was my worst shot, but I tried my best," Choi said. "And when I finished, I just felt relieved." In the qualification round, five shooters finished tied on 559 and had to shoot-off for eighth and last berth in the finals. They included Beijing bronze medallist Vladimir Isakov of Russian and world number two Matsuda Tomoyuki of Japan, who both lost out to Italian soldier Giuseppe Giordano.
