RIO DE JANEIRO -- Christian Reitz was thrilled to watch his teammates win Olympic gold the previous two days, hoping he could keep Germanys shooting string going. Andrew Robertson Liverpool Jersey .But whatever they did before was going to have no impact on his final. Reitz still had to shoot well on his own, regardless of what momentum his country might have.Reitz did just that, extending Germanys shooting gold medal streak to three days.Reitz hit 34 of 40 targets, including all five on his final turn, to capture gold in the mens 25-meter rapid fire pistol Saturday at the Rio de Janeiro Games.Jean Quiquampoix of France earned silver and Li Yuehong of China captured bronze.Its good for the other shooters and medals for us, Reitz said. Its maybe a little bit easier, but the fight against me in the competition is the same.Reitz earned a bronze medal at the 2008 Beijing Games and followed with a sixth-place finish in London.He was one of the favorites heading into Rio after run of strong finishes in World Cup events, including a victory in Azerbaijan in June. The current world-record holder had strong qualifying sessions, setting an Olympic record with 596 targets over two stages.Reitz opened the first competition stage by hitting all five targets in four seconds, but began having trouble hitting the second target as the competition progressed.Reitz still managed to move atop the standings after the fifth round of five shots and closed out gold by hitting his final five targets. Knowing Quiquampoix could not catch him on his final series, Reitz removed his headphones and glasses, then pumped his fist at his coach.Reitzs gold continues Germanys domination in rapid fire pistol at the Olympics. Behind Ralf Schumann, considered his countrys greatest shooter, Germany has won four gold medals and six overall in the event since 1992 Barcelona Games.Thats a gold and a bronze for the 29-year-old Reitz, putting him in position to follow in the footsteps of Schumann. He still has a long way to go, though; Shumann won three golds and two silvers in rapid fire.Maybe. Well see in the future, said Reitz, who works for the German police force.The 20-year-old Quiquampoix reached the final round after a three-round shoot-off with Li. Both shooters hit 27 shots in the final and eight of 10 in the first two rounds of the shoot-off. Quiquampoix moved on after hitting four to Lis three in the third round.Quiquampoix needed Reitz to falter on his final series, but the German hit all five. Quiquampoix hit four to capture Frances first shooting medal of the Rio Games.It represents a lot of sacrifices for myself and for my family, so this medal represents a lot to all of us, Quiquampoix said through an interpreter.Defending Olympic gold medalist Leuris Pupo of Cuba finished fifth after hitting 18 of 25 targets, and top-ranked Zhang Fusheng of China finished fourth after hitting one target on his sixth series.
