Pentti Tapio Akseli Linnosvuo (17 March 1933 – 13 July 2010)[1] was a Finnish sport shooter, the most recent shooter to win Olympic gold medals in both 50 m Pistol and 25 m Rapid Fire Pistol (the only one who had managed this previously was Alfred Lane in 1912). As the technique differs much between the two events, few modern top-level shooters even attempt to excel in both. He was born in Vaasa and died in Kuusamo. He competed at five Olympic Games, winning two gold medals and a silver.[2]
