The Americans beat Brazil's Marcio Araujo and Fabio Magalhaes 23-21, 17-21, 15-4 in a tense, tight final with bronze going to the 2004 champions Ricardo Santos and Emanuel Rego of Brazil. The win by Philip Dalhausser, 28, and 34-year-old Todd Rogers marked a return to the top step of the podium for the United States who won gold at the Atlanta Games in 1996 and Sydney in 2000, but saw their domination halted at Athens in 2004.
He was the favourite but Ukraine's Artur Ayvazian won gold in 50m rifle 3 positions.
