(Beijing, April 15) The "Good Luck Beijing" ISSF World Cup concluded its fourth day's competitions this afternoon as China's Lin Zhongzai and Russia's Vasily Mosin won the titles of the men's 50m pistol and men's double trap respectively.

In the men's 50m pistol event, China's Lin Zhongzai, winner of the 2007 ISSF World Cup Final in Bangkok, led the group with 571 points, while his teammates, Olympic veteran Tan Zongliang and Asian champion Xu Kun, failed to make the final after placing 16th (560) and 39th (551) tandem. Pre-event favorites Russia's 2004 Olympic champion Mikhail Nestruev and his compatriot 2007 World Cup Final runner-up Boris Kokorev were also stopped in the qualification round.

Lin consolidated his advantage in the final as he led the second shooter by 4.4 after the first five shots. In the final shot, Lin managed only 7.7, but still collected 700.8 to go on the top podium by a small margin of 1.2 over runner-up Rashid Yunusmetov. American Daryl Szarenski, second in the qualifications, finished third with 663.4.

Later in the men's double trap qualification round, Russian Vasily Mosin and his teammate Mikhail Leybo finished one-two on 145 and 141 hits respectively. Three Chinese shooters competed in the event. They were Hu Binyuan, 2006 and 2007 world championships runner-up, Wang Nan, 2005 World Championships runner and 2006 Asian Games champion, and Cai Chao.

Athens Olympic gold medalist Ahmed Almaktoum hit only 134 to rank 25th and 2004 Olympic runner-up Singh Rajyavardhan Rathore of India didn't qualify for the final either.
