INCHEON, Sept 19 (AFP): Pistol king Jin Jong-Oh's recent record-breaking form promises to light up the Asian Games shooting ranges when hosts South Korea renew their intense rivalry with China from Saturday.

The triple Olympic champion shattered a 34-year-old world record in the men's 50m pistol at the world championships in Spain earlier this month, before also winning the 10m air pistol title.

"The record was pretty special," said Jin, who turns 35 next week and was just a few months old when Russian Alexander Melentiev set the previous mark at the 1980 Moscow Olympics.
