CHATEAUROUX, France (Reuters) -Serbia’s Zorana Arunovic and Damir Mikec won the 10-metre air pistol mixed team gold at the Paris Olympics on Tuesday.
They beat Sevval Ilayda Tarhan and Yusuf Dikec of Turkey 16-14 at the Chateauroux Shooting Centre.
Manu Bhaker and Sarabjot Singh claimed the bronze for India beating the South Korean pair Oh Ye-jin and Lee Won-ho 16-10.
Bhaker, who won bronze in the women’s individual event, became India’s first multi-medallist at an Olympic Games since the country’s independence in 1947.
In the gold medal contest, the Turkish pair of Tarhan and Dikec shrugged off a slow start to open up an 8-4 lead and were on the brink of victory at 14-12.
But Arunovic and Mikec staged a brilliant comeback to run away with the gold. The victorious duo hugged, tumbled and rolled on the floor in jubilation.
