Timeline
Iosif Sârbu (25 September 1925 – c. 6 September 1964) was a Romanian sport shooter and Romania’s first ever Olympic champion.
This provided an opportunity for young Iosif to take up sports shooting in 1937, at the age of 12.
He won his first national level competition (Bucharest Cup) in 1939.
In the first national championship after the war (1946) he became Romanian champion in the free rifle, standing event, scoring 358 points.
His first international victory came in the Balkan championships in Belgrade (1948) where he won the free rifle, prone event.
He competed in six 50 m rifle events in total at the 1952, 1956, and 1960 Olympics and won a gold medal in the 50 m rifle prone in 1952, setting a world record.
At the 1952 Olympics he won the small-bore rifle 50 metres, prone event, setting a new world record at 400 points.
This means he scored a maximum 10 points at every shot (there were 40 shots in total).
However, according to the regulations in force at the time, Sârbu was awarded the gold medal, on grounds of his hitting the very center of the target 33 times, compared to Andreyev’s 28.
The very center is in fact a small dot inside the 10-point area.
Sârbu thus became Romania’s first Olympic champion in history, regardless of discipline.
He served as the flag bearer for Romania at the 1956 Olympics.
He was born in Șibot, Alba County, Romania.
His family moved to the Romanian capital of Bucharest when Iosif was 7 years old.
His father, Dănilă Sârbu, soon got a job at the Tunari Sports Shooting Range, whose manager he became just after World War II.
Despite his declining eyesight, Iosif Sârbu took part in another two Olympics, finishing 5th in Melbourne, 1956 and 12th in Rome, 1960.
On 6 September 1964 he was found dead in his Bucharest home.
The circumstances of his death were never officially explained or confirmed, but it is widely believed that he committed suicide, after a medical verdict not only denied him participation in the 1964 Olympic games in Tokyo, but stated he would never be able to compete again, because of his eye condition.
“In the big concert of sports, shooting is like (…) a sonata for solo violin.
Everything is clear and forceful.
And the shooter is alone.
Soccer’s trumpets are left far behind, beyond the wall of adolescence.
In shooting, everything is serious and profound…”(from Iosif Sârbu’s essay, “The Olympics of the Year 2000”, 1960)
