An Olympic title awarded, more than 338. By winning the 10 m rifle shooting competition on Saturday July 24, the Chinese Qian Yang became the first Olympic champion of the Tokyo Olympics.
She beat Russia's Anastasia Galashina, who is playing under a neutral flag due to Russia's doping suspension, and the Swiss bronze medalist Nina Christen on the last shot.
Frenchwoman Océane Müller qualified for the final but was eliminated in the fourth round.
She takes fifth place at just 18 years old.
This Olympic title is the first of 11 to be awarded on this first official day of the Olympics.
