Qatar Shooter Al Athba Disqualified from Men's Trap Shooting
London, August 06 (QNA) - Qatar shooter Rashid Al Athba was disqualified from the men's Trap at the final Shooting event of London 2012.
Al Athba occupied the seventh place with a score of 121 points.
Giovanni Cernogoraz of Croatia secured a dramatic win in the men's Trap at the final Shooting event.
The 29-year-old qualified for the final with the lowest score but missed only once while his rivals faltered. He ended up in a shoot-off for gold with world champion Massimo Fabbrizi, and it was the Italian who missed first to give Cernogoraz the title.
Two-time Olympic champion Australia's Michael Diamond led the way in qualifying with a perfect score of 125 but missed five targets in the final - where shooters get one shot instead of two - to blow his chances of gold number three.
Instead, just as he had in Beijing, he lost a shoot-off for bronze, this time to Fehaid Aldeehani of Kuwait. (QNA)
