Jasna Sekaric from Serbia and Montenegro won women's 25 meter pistol in an dramatic way at the first final day of the Shooting World Cup in Munich Thursday while the other two golds were shared by Chinese new comer Lin Zhongzai and Belarus's veteran Sergei Martynov.

In the final of women's 25 meter pistol, Jasna Sekaric, 39, was misvalued during the final due to a technical mistake. The twelve times world cup gold medalist performed so "badly" during the final after finished second in the qualification that she thought something was wrong with her pistol.

Sekaric, who protested after the final, was told later that the target was mistakenly set on precision stage instead of the rapid fire stage used for the final and received the gold and her nation's quota place for Beijing 2008 Olympics

In position two was Munkhbayar Dorjsuren, 35, from Germany, followed by Cao Ying, 30, from China, who moved up from the eighth. Zsofia Csonka from Hungary, who started on position one after the qualification, dropped to eighth after failing two shots during the final.

Lin Zhongzai, 23, who started three points ahead of his pursuers, finished the final round with a score of 96.8 and won the gold medal of men's 50 meter pistol with a total of 666.8 points, together with a quota place for his nation for the Beijing Olympics 2008.

Alexander Danilov from Israel took the silver with a total score of 665.8 after starting the final round on the fifth but promoting himself to the second by shooting a great final round with 100.8.

Russia's Mikhail Nestruev, the Olympic gold medalist of Athens 2004, was third, followed by the current World Champion Tan Zongliang from China.

The gold medal of men's 50 meter rifle prone went to Sergei Martynov, 37, with a narrow margin of fourth tenth of a difference. The current World Record holder and two times Olympic bronze medalist of Sydney 2000 and Athens 2004 shot down next to the gold his nation's quota place for Beijing 2008 with a decisive last shot of 10.7, surpassing Mario Knoegler, 25, from Austria who finished second with a total score of 700.1.

Thomas Tamas, 39, from the United States, took the bronze after starting on position eight of the final round with a total of 698.9.
