On one hand I want to watch the trap final, on the other hand it looks like a small airplaine (like those small Cessna's) may have just crashed a few hundred meters away from here so normally I'd go and watch....

Could someone give me a very brief overview of what they're supposed to do and when the medals are decided?

Make the disc pigeons turn into pink powder

i think someone gets eliminated at 25 shots each and then....every 5 after that? i don't know and the commentators havn't told me yet

Did some reading and that seems to be the case indeed.

 

25 for everyone, 6th place is out. Then one is eliminated after every 5 shots.

why three shooters have 8/8, but  and  are 1st and  is third?

I’m old school on most things, but even I do not think they need to go back to live pigeons on this one.

ties are broken by the position in qualification, except for the gold medal

I guess it's a new rule, don't remember it existed in past

Also, there is a lot of rotation so everyone shoots the same number of shots from each position.
