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. The competitions were held from August 6, 1936 to August 8, 1936 at the shooting ranges at Wannsee. 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.
