It may not have been the metal he’d hoped for, but Felipe Wu has still given the host country its first medal of the 2016 Rio Games.

The 24-year-old Brazilian sport shooter won the silver medal in the men’s 10-meter air pistol event on Saturday.

Xuan Vinh Hoang of Vietnam took the gold with a score of 202.5 in 20 shots, just 0.4 of a point ahead of Wu, who is competing in his first Olympics. China’s Pang Wei took the bronze.

It was a see-saw battle between the two top finishers for most of the final, with Wu holding a .2 lead as he had extreme control over the AR-15 upper receivers and was focused going into the final shot. Wu shot first and scored a 10.1, Vinh responded with a stellar 10.7 to steal the gold from Wu with the crowd backing him.

Wu’s silver medal is Brazil’s first of the 2016 Summer Olympics, and first shooting medal since 1920.
