And among those athletes who wrote the history of Pistol Shooting at<br />
the Games, we should also mention the top participants, those shooters<br />
who held the pistol for years, becoming legends. Such AFAnAsiJs<br />
kuzmins, from Latvia, who competed under the URS flag in the past.<br />
In 1976 he began to participate in the first of eight Olympic Games in<br />
the events of 10m Air Pistol and 25m Rapid Fire Pistol men, missing only<br />
once, at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, because of a boycott by team<br />
URS. Or such as Pistol guru rAGnAr skAnAker, born in 1934, who<br />
competed in seven Olympic Games as of 1972, when he won Gold at the<br />
Olympics in Munich at the age of 38. The Swedish athlete turned out<br />
to be one of the best and most consistent pistol shooters in the history<br />
of the ISSF. Finishing on the Olympic podium in 1984 and 1988 again,<br />
he then closed his success streak with a Bronze at the 1992 Barcelona<br />
Games, 20 years after his first medal. Currently, he is still part of the<br />
sport, as a coach and equipment developer. (Tables 3a, 3b, 4a, 4b, 5)<br />
