Emmons Takes Silver In First Olympic Event
Former Alaska Nanooks rifle team member Matt Emmons, the 2004 Olympic Gold medalist in Athens for the men's 50 meter prone, was a point short of defending his title Friday in Beijing, but managed to come away with some hardware, earning Team USA a silver medal: his first medal of the Beijing games and his second career Olympic medal. The ex-Nanook marksman trailed the Ukraine's Artur Ayvazain - the eventual gold medalist, by two points heading into the finals (599-597). Emmons shot a better final round than Ayvazain, outscoring him 104.7-103.7; however, he fell short by a single point in the overall scoring with a 701.7 to the event champion's 702.7. (more)
