  Defending Champion Jin Jong-oh Wins Another Gold

We start this morning with the latest from London.
Korea's defending champion Jin Jong-oh won the gold medal in men's 50-meter pistol on Sunday, grabbing his second and Korea's tenth gold in the London games.
His fellow compatriot Choi Young-rae had dominated but Jin turned the table around with his last shot, beating Choi by half-a-point.
Choi had to settle for a silver.
In badminton, Chung Jae-sung and Lee Yong-dae won a bronze medal in men's doubles.
They put up a good fight, but this marks the first Olympics Korea has failed to bring home a gold or silver in badminton.
Korea's star weightlifter Jang Mi-ran sought her second consecutive gold in women's 75kg-plus class since the 2008 Beijing Olympics, but narrowly failed to win a medal coming fourth.
Korea's women's volleyball team lost to China in group B action, but still managed to advance to the quarter finals.
