Shooting - Finals (W) Air Rifle 10m [-26 hours]

I mistakingly jumped the video stream to the 'Bronze' button which jumped so far into the action I had no idea who, when or what was happening so far as some women were pointing guns. So it's back to the start. The stream is 1 hour, hopefully that includes the medal ceremony and the event won't take as long; though with my bandwidth it very well could take double.

Eight competitors, elimination style, with rounds of three; three and then single shots before being 'picked off' one-by-one. It's amazing how painful it can be to watch someone miss the centre of a target by less than 1mm.

An American is rarely an underdog in sport but in shooting it seems anybody who isn't from China can be considered one and she started well.
