RIO DE JANEIRO -- Gabriele Rossetti made a golden addition to the familys medal collection.The Mustache stole the show, however.Rossetti was perfect while capturing gold in mens skeet, 24 years after his father tk bronze in the same event. But it was mustachioed independent athlete Abdullah Al-Rashidi who earned bronze and the fans hearts Saturday at the Rio de Janeiro Games.I am happy. I dont know why they help me, but thank you, Al-Rashidi said.Rossetti, the 21-year-old Italian prodigy with deep-rted skeet genes, was the favorite heading into Rio, and he lived up to expectations -- after surviving a sht-off to get into the final.Needing to make up ground heading into the final day, Rossetti didnt miss a shot, with 25 straight targets in the second qualifying stage and 12 more in the four-person sht-off.He hit all 16 semifinal targets and matched that against Swedens Marcus Svensson in the gold-medal match. Rossetti earned the gold when Svensson missed his final shot, giving the Italian a brighter medal than the bronze his father, Bruno, earned at the 1992 Barcelona Games.I didnt think about my fathers medal before the competition, but now I have added to the family medal collection, Rossetti said.Al-Rashidi, 52, who trains falcons when hes not shting, has a long shting history.His Olympic debut came at the 1996 Atlanta Games, and Rio was his sixth time on sports biggest stage. A three-time world champion, he had never earned an Olympic medal, though; Rio was his first final.He was unable to compete for his country after Kuwaits national Olympic committee was suspended by the International Olympic Committee for government interference. He and the other Kuwaiti athletes who qualified -- double trap gold medalist Fehaid Al-Deehani among them -- were allowed to compete as an independent team under the IOC flag.Al-Rashidi tied as the top qualifier in Rio and became an instant fan favorite once the finals begin.The capacity crowd, most of it Brazilian, latched on to the underdog in the Arsenal jersey -- he liked the way it lked and felt -- and cheered wildly when he was introduced and with every target he shattered.Al-Rashidi played up to the adulation, waving his arms and pumping his fists to their cheers during introductions, spurring the fans even more.He ended the semifinals in a three-way tie with Denmarks Jesper Hansen and Stefan Nilsson, forcing a sht-off for a spot in the bronze-medal match. Al-Rashidi shot last in the threesome, and the crowd knew he had a chance to move on after Hansen and Nilsson each missed one, screaming and waving flags before the Kuwaitis turn.Playing the showman again, Al-Rashidi raised his gun in the air and flashed a thumbs-up as the cheers continued. An official at Al-Rashidis station tried to urge the Kuwaiti shter to take his turn, but he shrugged and pointed at the crowd as if to say, What am I supposed to do?He hit both shots, setting off another round of cheers and a shot at the bronze against Ukraines Mikola Milchev.Al-Rashidi was perfect in the bronze-medal match. He raised his arms in the air, dropped to his knees and kissed the ground. He rose and threw his hat in the air as the crowd chanted in Portuguese: Ole, ole, ole, Mustache!We like his mustache, so we start to chant, one Brazilian fan said.The man with the mustache -- he actually trimmed it recently -- soaked in the adulation, again raising his arms after receiving his bronze medal as another chant about his facial hair rang out across the Olympic Shting Centre.I am Brazilian, Al-Rashidi said. I am from Brazil. Cheap Air Max Authentic . The winner Saturday will remain in the elite 10-team field next year.
