Olympic competor become famous general

Filed Under (english, Historia) by Targenor on 09-09-2009

In Stockholm 1912 one man took part in shooting, swimming, fencing, riding and running.
If it hadn´t been for he used a gun whit a big calliber in the shooting, perhaps he had become famous as a olympic champion and a general.

On twenty shots he shot elven ”tens” four ”nines” two ”eights” one ”seven” and two ”zeros”.
The explenation that is most likley is that the amunition made the first holes to big that the last shots went through the board whitout showing anything.

The judges didn´t allowed the last shots to be counted, and a probably goldmedal become a fifth place.

The man was George Smith Patton.
