Moldoveanu takes 10m air rifle gold

LONDON - Romanian crack shot Alin Moldoveanu took gold in the Olympic men's 10m air rifle Monday as India made a rare podium appearance despite seeing their defending champion crash out in qualifying. The bespectacled Moldoveanu did not know he had won the competition at after edging world champion Niccolo Campriani into silver medal position, with India's Gagan Narang taking bronze. Narang's compatriot, the defending Olympic champion Abhinav Bindra was knocked out in the earlier qualifying round. Moldoveanu held his nerve during a contest that saw constant flux at the top of the leaderboard to finish strongly and deny Campriani.
