Serbian shooters Damir Mikec and Zorana Arunovic made history at the Paris 2024 Olympics, clinching their country's first gold medal in a nail-biting 10m air pistol mixed team final against Türkiye. Trailing 8-2 early on, the duo staged a Hollywood-worthy comeback to win 16-14 – proving persistence pays off after their 4th-place finish in Tokyo .
\"This was our Olympic dream for over 20 years,\" Mikec told CGTN, with Arunovic adding: \"When we saw the crowd cheering… that moment was magic .\"
The veterans revealed they've been taking notes from China's sharpshooters, who've dominated with 3 golds and 2 silvers. \"They’re like shooting machinery!\" laughed Arunovic. The pair even learned Mandarin phrases like \"ni hao piao liang\" (you're pretty) from their Chinese friends on the circuit .
From collapsing on the floor in celebration to bonding across borders, this story has all the heart and drama that makes the Olympics unforgettable .
