Josip Glasnović winning gold medal for Croatia at the 2016 Olypics in the trap-shooting
Croatian army officer Josip Glasnovic won Croatia’s first gold of the 2016 Olympics in the trap-shooting, beating Italy’s Giovanni Pellielo in a four-shot sudden death shootoff. Edward Ling of Great Britain took home bronze. Glasnovic, a 33-year-old who also competed in Beijing in 2008, hit a perfect 15 of 15 in the semi-final but missed two in the final. He then fired four of four in the sudden death round. Glasnovic succeeds Giovanni Cernogoraz who won gold for Croatia in London 4 years ago in the same event.
