Pentti Tapio Akseli Linnosvuo (born March 17, 1933 in Vaasa) is a Finnish former sport shooter, the most recent shooter to win Olympic gold medals in both 50 m Pistol and 25 m Rapid Fire Pistol (the only one who had managed this previously was Alfred Lane in 1912). As the technique differs much between the two events, few modern top-level shooters even attempt to excel in both.
