OLYMPIC HISTORY Shooting had a friend in the highest of places when the Modern Olympic Games opened in Athens in 1896. None other, in fact, than Pierre de Coubertin, who was a pistol shooting champion for France. The first president of the International Olympic Committee introduced four pistol and two rifle events at the first modern Olympiad. The sport has featured at all bar two Games since, St Louis in 1904 and Amsterdam in 1928 not having staged shooting events. His record-breaking did not stop there, however, and over two days at the Stockholm Games of 1912 he established two more Olympic milestones which have stood the test of time. First, he became the oldest medal winner in an individual event, by taking the bronze in the Running Deer, double-shot at the age of 64 years and 256 days; then, he became the oldest ever gold medal winner when triumphant as a member of the Swedish Running Deer, single-shot team at the age of 64 years 257 days.

THE WEB SI.com Shooting factbox for Athens 2004 Posted: Sunday July 11, 2004 9:32PM; Updated: Sunday July 11, 2004 9:32PM ATHENS, July 12 (Reuters) Factbox on shooting at the August 13-29 Athens Olympics: HISTORY Of the nine sports represented at the first modern Olympics in 1896 in Athens, shooting had the highest number of participants. Four years later, at the Paris Games, live pigeons were used as moving targets, reminiscent of the dove-shooting contests the ancient Greeks held in honour of their gods. It was the only time in Olympic history that animals were deliberately killed. Unlike in most Olympic sports, competitors cover a huge age range. At the Barcelona Games in 1992, Konstantin Lukashyk from the post-Soviet Commonwealth of Independent States who won gold in the men's 50-metre pistol was 17 while the runner-up, Swede Ragnar Skanaker, was 58. Women began participating in shooting competitions at the Olympics in 1968 but in Athens three events the 50m rifle prone, 10m running target and 25m rapid fire pistol will be for men only. EVENTS Men: 10 events: 50m rifle three positions (prone, standing, kneeling); 50m rifle prone; 10m air rifle; 50m pistol; 25m rapid fire pistol; 10m air pistol; 10m running target; Trap (shotgun); Double Trap (shotgun); Skeet (shotgun)

The variety is almost bewildering in the early years, because there were so many highly specialized categories, such as dueling pistols and the 1873-74 Model Gras Military Revolver. From 1968 through 1980, women were allowed to compete on an equal standing with men in all shooting events. Separate events for women were added in 1984.

As a former French pistol champion, the founder of the modern Games, Baron de Coubertin, was always going to look favourably on its inclusion. The format of the Olympic shooting competition has changed greatly over the years. When it was introduced in Athens, there were just three rifle and pistol events. This became 21 by 1920, none at all in 1928 and just two on its return in 1932. The programme was more settled after the Second World War, when team competitions were discontinued, and it now stands at 17 events. Shooting has produced some stirring Olympic moments.

It was introduced in Stockholm in 1912 by the founder of the modern Olympics, Baron Pierre de Coubertin, as a more contemporary take on the classical pentathlon. In ancient times, the pentathlon consisted of discus, javelin, running, jumping and wrestling and was the climax of the Games - a test of the most formidable athletes. Its modern counterpart was designed to represent the toils of a 19th-century French cavalry officer, forced to shoot, fence, swim, ride and run his way across hostile territory to deliver a message. De Coubertin's vision was that the event should "test a man's moral qualities as much as his physical resources and skills, producing thereby the ideal, complete athlete".
