PANO – Vietnam’s Shooter Hoang Xuan Vinh has won a gold medal with 200.8 points at the men’s 10m air pistol event at the World Cup Shooting Tournament in the Republic of Korea.

The silver was taken by China's Wang Zhiwei shooter with 200.1 points.

Earlier, at the 2012 London Olympic Games, Wang took the bronze in the men’s 50m air pistol event, gaining just 0.1 points more than Vinh’s total.

Vinh’s gold at the world event will be the driving force for army gunners in the next big tournaments.
