It was Gilles Dufaux again who took finally the victory while he had most inner tens (49x). The winner of silver in this tight competition was Steffen Olssen (35x) from hosting country Denmark and third was Slovenian “rifle king“ Raimond Debevec (35x). Fourth place took Remi Moreno Flores (33x) from France. The silver medal winner Olssen had better series and that is why he won silver before Debevec.
