Amber Hill claims Great Britain's fifth gold medal with women's skeet triumph

Young shooter Amber Hill earns Great Britain's fifth gold medal at the European Games in Baku after triumphing in the women's skeet final.

Young shooter Amber Hill claimed Great Britain's fifth gold at the European Games this afternoon, after she defeated the experienced Italian Diana Bacosi in the women's skeet final.

The 17-year-old Hill was able to match Bacosi's score of 15 to ensure that the two shooters went into a shoot-off, where the GB athlete prevailed having met all 30 of her shots as Bacosi dropped one short.

The event's bronze-medal contest saw Italy claim another medal in the skeet as Chiara Cainero defeated Slovakia's Danka Bartekova.

Great Britain now hold five gold, two silver and four bronze accolades.
