The gold and the 2010 World Champion title go to Joshua Richmond who climbs to the top step of the monaco podium in a more than deserved way. The American from Fort Bennings made no mistake in the final and closed at 196/200 equaling the world record. Shoot-off for silver and bronze between the Russian Vasily Mosin and the Chinese Binjuan Hu paired at 193.
In the end, the Russian prevailed with +27 to +26. For the three medalists also the Olympic card for the London 2012 Games The Azzurri remain out of the final and the card games. Best of ours and Daniele Di Spigno (Fiamme Oro) from Terracina (LT) who misses the decisive series for a target and stops at an altitude of 143/150 (he would have played for entry with 144 ed) in 15th position. Not well Francesco D'Aniello (Fiamme Oro) (139) from Nettuno (RM) and Claudio Franzoni (133) from Brescia who have to be satisfied, respectively, with the 24th and 39th position.
