The story
Tanyu Kiriakov won the men's 50m pistol gold medal in shooting at Sydney 2000 on 19 September 2000. The title went to Bulgaria, with the competition held at Sydney International Shooting Centre, Liverpool, Australia.
How it unfolded
Igor Basinsky (Belarus) took silver; Martin Tenk (Czech Republic) took bronze.
The wider picture
This Olympic shooting event had its own equipment, target and qualification requirements. The final ranking belongs to the specified discipline, rather than to an overall shooting championship. Where a qualification score was carried into the final, the aggregate determined the medals. Rifle, pistol and shotgun totals used different scales, making comparisons across those disciplines misleading.
