Niccolo Campriani from Italy, who was leading the competitions till the last shot, ended up on the second place and won the silver medal with 206,4 points.

Sergey Richter from Israel finished third, but, perhaps, was the happiest person in the Finals hall. His bronze medal secured him the Quota place for the Games of the XXXI Olympiad in Rio de Janeiro.
