Rio Olympics: Sports shooter David Kostelecký misses chance to clinch bronze medal

David Kostelecký, an Olympic gold medal winner in the Men’s Trap event at the 2008 Summer Olympics, missed a chance on Monday to clinch a bronze medal in Rio. Against Great Britain’s Edward Ling, the Czech shooter slipped to fourth spot after missing six of 15 targets. The competitor, who is 41, said he was an ‘old hand’ in the event and at that the fourth place finish would have bothered him more if he had not already secured gold at the previous games.
