Iranian shooter Javad Foroughi won the gold medal in the Men's 10m air pistol at the 2020 Olympic Games on Saturday.
He has set an Olympic record of 244.8.

The silver medal has gone to Serbia's Damir Mikec, with the bronze going to China's Pang Wei.

Foroughi became the oldest Iranian athlete to win an Olympic medal, earning gold in men's 10-meter air pistol.
