RIO DE JANEIRO -- Jin Jongoh put a shot in the 6-ring midway through the finals, the shooting equivalent of shanking a shot into the woods during the final round of a golf major.No way would he come back from that, the South Korean thought, yet he kept his focus, hoping to find a way back at least into medal contention.Jin did more than that, putting his name up there with the greatest shooters in Olympic history.Stringing together one clutch shot after another, Jin rallied from his inexplicable miscue to overcome Vietnams Hoang Xuan Vinh in the mens 50-meter pistol finals Wednesday at the Rio Olympics, becoming the first shooter to win three straight gold medals in the same discipline.This is the most memorable medal I have won, said Jin, who has four gold medals and two silvers combined in pistol and air pistol. Compared to other Olympic Games, this was the most challenging Games and I was under the greatest pressure.Jin was the top qualifier in windy conditions and was in good shape after eight rounds of the eight-man elimination finals, which were held inside at the finals hall.Then the inexplicable happened: Jin, the world-record holder in two disciplines, shot 6.6 on his ninth shot. That set off a collective groan from the crowd dropped him to the bottom of the standings.I missed the aiming, Jin said. I changed my position and said to myself, dont make the same mistake.He didnt.Jin survived elimination when he hit 9.6 on his 10th shot and Slovakias Pavol Kopp fired a 7.1. Jin followed with a 10.4 and started finding the 10-ring consistently to move up the standings.Still alive, but a 4.4-point deficit with 10 shots left was a lot to ask.I didnt think I could do it, Jin said.He just kept shooting -- and hitting his mark.Jin moved into a tie with eventual bronze medalist Kim Song Guk of North Korea with four shots left and assured himself of at least silver with shots of 10.4 and 10.2.Jin entered the final round just 0.2 points behind Hoang, who appeared to be unnerved by Jins charge.Jin shot 10.0 on his penultimate shot to Hoangs 8.5 to grab the lead. Jin fired a 9.3 on his final shot, but it turned out to be good enough after Hoang shot 8.2.The beauty of this sport is that you can never predict what is going to happen, said Hoang, who earned Vietnams first Olympic gold in any event on Saturday in 10-meter air pistol. I am very pleased to earn a gold and silver medal. MLB Jerseys China . Carey Price didnt, but he still came out on top against one of his rivals for the No. 1 job at the Sochi Games.

PITTSBURGH -- When Jim Rutherford arrived in Pittsburgh in the summer of 2014, he figured hed be around two or three years tops. Its one promise the general manager is happy to break.The Penguins signed Rutherford to a new three-year contract Friday just two weeks removed from the franchises fourth Stanley Cup -- one that had Rutherfords fingerprints all over it.Everything Jim said he was going to do from the first interview we talked to him, hes accomplished, Penguins president and CEO David Morehouse said.The Penguins lured Rutherford, 67, to Pittsburgh two years ago and tasked him with overhauling a talented but underachieving roster. He rebuilt the team on the fly around stars Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin.After a bumpy start in 2014-15 -- which ended with a meek first-round playoff exit against the New York Rangers -- the Penguins took off last December after Rutherford fired coach Mike Johnston and replaced him with Mike Sullivan.Youre not going to walk right in and figure that out, Rutherford said. After my first year here, I had a very good handle on how it works.Rutherford made a series of moves focused on depth and speed, bringing in forwards Phil Kessel, Nick Bonino, Carl Hagelin, Eric Fehr and Matt Cullen along with defenseman Trevor Daley. Over half of Pittsburghs goals during its run to the Stanley Cup (40 of 73) were scored by players acquired by Rutherford.I like to build with balance throughout the lineup, Rutherford said. Preessure is going to build on your star players, but .dddddddddddd.. if you can get those guys in your third and fourth lines winning games for you, youre well on your way to having a good team.Rutherford is the first general manager of the expansion era (post-1967) to lead multiple franchises to championships. He was in Carolina when the Hurricanes won their only Cup in 2006 but had moved to a different role when Pittsburgh reached out after firing Ray Shero in 2014. He declined to speculate on whether this latest deal will be his last. He will be 70 when it expires in 2019.When I stepped down in Carolina, I thought that was it, Rutherford said. Now its a few more years. For a lot of years people have asked me [how long] Im going to do this. Most of the guys that ask me, Ive outlasted them all.Pittsburgh was otherwise quiet during the opening day of free agency, signing forward Tom Sestito and defensemen Steve Oleksy and Stuart Percy to two-way contracts. The team also added defensemen Cameron Gaunce, Chad Ruhwedel and David Warsofsky.Two familiar faces, however, left the Penguins. Defenseman Ben Lovejoy signed with New Jersey, and backup goaltender Jeff Zatkoff agreed to terms with the Los Angeles Kings. Cullen, who just completed his 19th year by winning his second Cup, is considering coming back for another season. ' ' '
