British sharp-shooter Peter Wilson overcame blustery conditions to win the men’s Double Trap yesterday.

The world record holder shot 188 out of 200 to win gold ahead of Sweden’s Hakan Dahlby in second on 186 at the Royal Artillery Barracks in London.

Russia’s Vasily Mosin took bronze after a shoot-off with Kuwait’s Fehaid Aldeehani as both finished on 185.

Wilson had looked as-sured in taking a three-point lead into the final after topping qualifying with a score of 143 out of 150.

He never lost his lead throughout the 50-shot final, where he was cheered loudly by the partisan crowd.

However, Wilson missed both clays in the 21st round as Dahlby, who hit 49 of 50 targets, closed in but the Briton hung on to victory.
