    They say its the noisiest venue - a beautiful place for more medals.

    The section they are sitting in, that was more interesting than being stuck inside the littler venue watching pistols. And we watched two GBR lads compete.

    Let's hope this inspires the kids to go out, buy guns and take up shooting. #legacy

    As a shooter myself I can only admire this young Mr Wilson. The concentration needed to shoot that well and so consistently is phenomenal.

    Gulp ! Peter's just seen his dad for the first time since his victory...big hugs & tears !

    Don't you just love being British !

    There is a lot of nonsense talked about shooting.
    Nothing wrong with youngsters taking up a sport that teaches them discipline, respect, fitness, concentration and not to panic under pressure.

    Great pic of Shooters Hill on the BBC online channel right now.

    Why is it that all the sportsmen who get interviewed at the Olympics sound about a hundred times more intelligent, modest, and articulate than footballers?

    it is because they are a hundred times more intelligent,modest.....

    Mentioned on another thread but the control room within the Shooting venue not only has a Champions Addicks flag in its wall but also 3 x season ticket holders manning the radios, Charlton Life is checked with regularity through out a shift! I should have been in this afternoon but only just back from hospital where my lad was taken ill in the night (nothing serious thankfully) so missed Peter Wilsons gold..

    I am sure WSS is mischief making and wasonly meant as a witty observation so before people shoot him down (no pun intended) I should think most of us believe that its far better for youngsters to be involved in this sport and develop a disciplined respect for a firearm as opposed to only seeing them on a playstation or hip hop video...

    Well done Peter Wilson, no empty seats and lots of "ordinary Londoner's" (is there such a thing) in the crowds throughout as well
