Croatian army officer Josip Glasnovic won a tense shoot-off to secure men's trap gold at the Rio Olympics on Monday, then disclosed his winning secret - 'keep it simple'.
The 33-year-old from Zagreb, tied at 13-13 in the title match against Italian Giovannni Peliello, held his nerve to claim the sudden-death phase 4-3.
"I just focus on the target, keep it simple," he explained when asked how he kept his hands from trembling with tension.
"I shoot very well, very concentrated. I give all the best," he added.
Somerset farmer Edward Ling finished third for Britain, outpointing David Kostelecky of the Czech Republic 13/9 in the bronze medal match.
For Italian Giovannni Peliello(46)this was his third silver medal finish after 2008 Beijing Olympics and in the 2004 Athens Olympics, not forgetting a bronze in the 2000 Sydney Olympics
