‘I shot someone else’s target’: Ukraine’s Serhiy Kulish suffers Olympic blunder

• Shooter's medal hopes ruined by mistake in 50m rifle final
• Who shoots into someone else's target? Only people like me'

Ukrainian shooter Serhiy Kulish missed out on a medal after committing one of the most extraordinary howlers at the Tokyo Olympics by hitting an opponent's target.

Kulish, who won silver in the 10m air rifle event at Rio 2016, had sailed into Monday's men's 50m rifle final and was pushing for the podium when disaster struck. In fourth place with 30 shots fired, Kulish mistakenly fired at a rival's target. After receiving zero points for the shot, he was soon eliminated in eighth place.
