    NBC Olympics
    Four years ago a US shooter lost out on getting the gold due to hitting someone elses target on the final round. One of the Czech reporters covering the event then went and consoled him and that resulting in them getting married. This time round she was in the shooting events as well and won a gold earlier in the week for the Czech Republic. He was then again in gold medal position going into the final round and only needed to hit the target to win.

    He missed totally again, but didn't actually seem that bothered about it.

    Possibly because of the silver medal he won two days beforehand, or the gold medal he won last time round (again, two days before the missed shot everyone remembers), or because of the world championship title he currently holds... or maybe just because he's displaying the good sportsmanship we've come to expect not to see in the Olympics...

    (And he didn't miss totally, he fired before he was ready and hit the target, just didn't score high enough to take a medal)
