Ukrainian striker Serhiy Kulish committed one of the most extraordinary roars in the Tokyo Olympics after hitting the opponent’s target and missed the medal.
Kulish won the silver medal in the 10m air rifle competition at the Rio Olympics in 2016. He has entered the men’s 50m rifle final on Monday and won a medal at the Asaka Shooting Range when the disaster occurred. Cooley even ranked fourth with 30 shots, erroneously firing at the opponent’s target. After scoring zero points, he was quickly eliminated in eighth place.
“I’m not happy,” he said. “Who shoots at someone else’s target? Only people like me.”
The second-ranked person in the world said that the reason for his inattention was a malfunctioning wardrobe.
“The buttons on my jacket loosened and I felt a little uncomfortable, but time passed and I had to try it,” he said. “I didn’t notice that I had targeted someone else’s goal.”
Chinese player Zhang Changhong won the final gold medal in the shooting competition with a world record of 466 points, Russian Olympic Committee’s Sergey Kamensky won the silver medal with 464.2 points, and Serbia’s Milenko Sebic won the bronze medal with 448.2 points. . Kulish ends with 402.2.

Kulish believes that the lack of domestic facilities has affected his country’s hopes for medals. “We don’t have a shooting range. This is a problem,” he said.
“We have to go abroad to train. This is a problem. There is no solution. My city has a shooting range, but it only has five goals, so it is impossible to hold a competition there. There is no place to hold a competition. [or] Training new athletes is a problem. “
