Shooting at the 1936 Summer Olympics

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shooting at the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin saw the reintroduction of 50 m Pistol (then called Free Pistol) but still only had three events. Germany succeeded only in winning one of the three gold medals; the others went to Scandinavians after great accomplishments: Torsten Ullman won Free Pistol with a margin of 15 points and a new world record, and Willy Røgeberg achieved the maximum score in the Prone event.
