Ralf Schumann has dominated this event since the late 1980s, and won the Olympic gold medals in 1992 and 1996, but failed to achieve his historic third gold in Sydney. In Athens, Schumann reached 592 in the qualification round along with two Russians, and the German's excellent final shooting was unstoppable.
