Granada, 19 July
Slovenia's top shooter Rajmond Debevec won the gold medal in the 50 m standard rifle three-position event at the European Sport Shooting Championship in Spain's Granada on Thursday.
With 585 points, Debevec remained under the Slovenian record (589 points) which he set in Tolmezzo, Italy earlier this year. He was followed by Austria's Thomas Farnik and Czech shooter Lubos Opelka (both 584 pts). Debevec won Olympic gold in the 50 m rifle three-position at the Sydney 2000 games.
