Jia Zhanbo
ATHENS, Aug. 22 (Xinhuanet) -- Chinese unknown
shooter Jia Zhanbo came to fame overnight on Sunday after he won the Olympic
men's 50m rifle three positions final that was full of drama.
The 30-year-old Jia, who had never won a single title
in international competition, led the qualification round with 1,171 points but
shot badly in the final, trailing American rival Matthew Emmons by three full
points with just one shot remaining.
