The Qatari trio of Rashid al-Athba, Masoud al-Athba and Hamad al-Marri (foreground) celebrate with other members of Qatar’s shooting team after winning the men’s Double Trap gold at the Asian Games yesterday. The Qatar team shocked favourites China, with al-Athba and al-Marri shooting 404 out of 450 targets cumulatively to tie with China’s Hu Binyuan, Mo Junjie and Kuwait’s Fehaid al-Deehani, Ahmad al-Afasi and Hamad al-Afasi. It was one of those very rare instances when the three top teams had shot the same score, but Qatar were declared the winners based on their cumulative total in the fifth and final round in which the trio shot 84 out of 90, with Hamad hitting 29, Rashid 27 and al-Marri 28 of their individual 30 targets.
