Sergei recovers to rule supreme in final
Tokyo Olympic Games team member, Sergei Evglevski, survived a mid-round stumble to recover and capture the men’s 25m Rapid Fire Pistol gold medal in the BISC Cup at the Brisbane International Shooting Centre today.
Evglevski was in commanding form in the qualifying round scoring a world-class 582 points but faced stiff opposition from ACT’s Thomas Ashmore in the final.Both competitors were neck and neck after the first three rounds of the final before Evglevski nudged three shots ahead after the fourth round.
Then in a stunning reversal, the Victorian lost the lead when managing only one target in the fifth round while Ashmore leap-frogged to a one shot lead after shooting a perfect round of five targets.
