LONDON - Leuris Pupo hailed his men's 25 metre rapid fire pistol success as a victory for all of Cuba as he claimed the country's first Olympic gold medal in the sport with a record-equalling total. The 35-year-old hit 34 of the 40 targets to finish ahead of Vijay Kumar of India in second with 30 in a surprising one-two that made a mockery of the world rankings. Feng Ding of China was third on 27 before being eliminated after 35 shots. "This is the height of glory for the people of Cuba, for my family and for all those that have helped me get this medal," Pupo said.
