Yang Qian took the first medal of the 2020 Olympics on Saturday, winning the women s 10-meter air rifle competition in a tense final.
Anastasiia Galashina, competing for the ROC, was consistent through the final and held a tiny lead over Yang, 231.4 to 231.3, heading into the final two shots. Galashina doubled the lead with a 10.8 on her next shot to Yang s 10.7. But Galashina fired an astonishingly low 8.9 with her last shot, a few seconds before Yang clinched gold with a pedestrian but sufficient 9.8.

The air rifle is one of three shooting events at the Olympics, along with pistol and shotgun. Rifle and pistol involves competitors shooting at a stationary target, while shotgun requires them to fire at moving targets. There are two rifle distances: 10 meters and 50 meters, with the latter requiring shooters to fire from three different positions: standing, kneeling and lying prone.
