In the history of shooting sports, Hoang Xuan Vinh is one of the names the record keeps returning to.
The record lists Hoang Xuan Vinh as Vietnamese Olympic shooter.
Hoang Xuan Vinh was born at Hanoi in 1974. His recorded nationality is Vietnam.
By this period sport was fully international, televised and politicised, and an athlete's reach extended far past the field of play.
He competed at 2006 Asian Games, 2010 Asian Games and shooting at the 2012 Summer Olympics – men's 10 metre air pistol.
Sport is the rare field that publishes its own evidence: the result is the argument.
That the career was built from Vietnam matters: facilities, coaching and funding are unevenly distributed, and they decide who ever reaches the start line.
What survives is the record itself - times, placings and titles that later competitors still measure themselves against.
