What a royal fight it was. And in the end, Nasser Saleh walked out with his head held high and a bronze medal around his neck. He just ended Qatar's 12-year medal drought at the Olympics. It was also the country's first medal in shooting.

May I join the rest of the country to say... MABROOK, brother. You made us all proud today...

I saw the shoot-out between him and the Russian who were tied at 3rd place. He held his nerve and emerged victorious.

Well done!!! :-)

LONDON (Reuters) - At the fifth attempt and with only 10 days practice, Qatari shooter and rally driver Nasser Al Attiyah overturned the odds to claim a coveted Olympic bronze medal in the men's skeet at the London Olympics on Tuesday.

The prized Olympic medal was only the third for Qatar, all bronzes, and their first for 12 years, bringing huge cheers from a big delegation from the tiny Gulf nation who swarmed to Al Attiyah to celebrate afterwards.

Congrats!
