The Swede, who has her best medal chances later this week, finished sixth in the qualifiers and thus snagged one of the eight final places.
Once in the final, she had to settle for last place - but was nevertheless satisfied after a messy recharge.
- It has been so difficult.
I have not competed in 20 months and have new equipment with me.
So they have been on me like hawks, I think I got five or six protests on me, Normann tells SVT Sport.
Other countries have protested
It is the other countries that have protested against Anna Normann now using a standing stool in standing shooting.
- I have become worse than two years ago, I shoot so much that I need it to be strong.
Then they want me to lower the whole stool to lean more backwards, she explains.
- Such a change does a lot when "tian" is so small.
So I had to adjust it and it will have a domino effect on the whole body.
"That I reached the final was great"
Therefore, it was tough to even get past the qualifiers.
- That I even reached the final was great.
The final started very well and I shot well, but one shot ran away.
But I can not focus on it but think of all that was good.
However, her best medal chances are in the competitions on Friday and Sunday.
The gold today went to Avani Lekhara, India, and the Chinese Ciuping Zhang snatched the silver. Iryna Shchetnik, Ukraine, finished third.
