BUENOS AIRES - 

The shooting range at Parque Sarmiento exploded with cheers from the spectators when Argentina’s Facundo Firmapaz shot his way to a bronze medal in the 10m international team mixed contest alongside Finland’s Viivi Natalia Kemppi.

Hungary’s Zalan Pekler and Mongolia’s Enkhmaa Erdenechuluun emerged as the winners in the event, which had its first tests on Wednesday and finished on Thursday.

The mixed international event, the same one in which Argentina’s Fernanda Russo won the silver medal with Mexico’s Jose Santos Valdes at Nanjing 2014, took place on the same site that will host its last medal on Friday with the same format, but in pistol.

Hungary’s Zalan Pekler and Mongolian Enkhmaa Erdenechuluun won the final 10-9 against Russia’s Anastasiia Dereviagina and Mexico’s Edson Ismael Ramirez Ramos, while Facundo Firmapaz and Viivi Natalia Kemppi won the bronze after defeating Mexico’s Gabriela Fernanda Martinez Lopez and Austria’s Stefan Wadlegger.

"I feel an immense joy for having added a medal at home and in front of my whole family," said the Argentine shooter.
