Olympic shooting events
Olympic shooting events are competitions where athletes use firearms to hit targets at varying distances. These events include disciplines such as rifle, pistol, and shotgun shooting, each with specific rules and formats. Athletes compete individually or in teams, aiming for precision and accuracy.
The events are held at the Olympic Games, which occur every four years. Participants must demonstrate skill in different scenarios, such as shooting from standing, kneeling, or prone positions. Medals are awarded based on performance, with gold, silver, and bronze for the top three competitors in each event.
