Bulgaria's Grozdeva Shoots Way Off Target at Olympics

Two-time Olympic shooting champion and five-time medalist Maria Grozdeva staged a disappointing performance on the second day of the Olympics in the 10-meter air pistol competition.

One of Bulgaria's most successful Olympians, having competed in four Games (1992-2004), and winning medals each time, ranked 24th after scoring 378 points.

Guo Wenjun successfully defended her Olympic 10-meter air pistol title by producing a stunning, near-perfect last shot in the final on Sunday.

It's the second shooting gold in two days for China, a day after Yi Siling secured the first gold medal awarded at the London Games by winning the opening 10-meter air rifle at the Royal Artillery Barracks.

She topped qualifying by one point from gold-medal favorite Kostevych and Goberville, and the trio shot well enough to stay in the medal positions ahead of the other five finalists in a dramatic final.
