Early Results for Tuesday, August 17
Comparatively few medals get handed out today, so there will be fewer last-place finishes to report. Here's what's available so far.
Shooting: Results for the target shooting events are available early because they only shoot during the daytime. Wusses. Anyway, in the men's 50-metre (free) pistol, we have our first tie for last place: both Chris Rice (U.S. Virgin Islands) and Friedhelm Sack (Namibia) scored 529 points and captured 41st place; competitors advancing to the finals had at least 560 points. In the men's double trap, Finland's Joonas Olkkonen brought up the rear in 25th place with a score of 118 points; the leader had 144 points before the final round.
Standings to date: Three more countries -- Finland, Namibia and the USVI -- with a last-place finish apiece.
