Giovanni Cernogoraz competes in the men's Trap Shooting competition on Day 10 at London 2012.

The 29-year-old qualified for the final with the lowest score but missed only once while his rivals faltered.

He ended up in a shoot-off for gold with world champion Massimo Fabbrizi, and it was the Italian who missed first to give Cernogoraz the title.

Two-time Olympic champion Australia's Michael Diamond led the way in qualifying with a perfect score of 125 but missed five targets in the final - where shooters get one shot instead of two - to blow his chances of gold number three.

Instead, just as he had in Beijing, he lost a shoot-off for bronze, this time to Fehaid Aldeehani of Kuwait.
