South Korea's Kim Jang-mi has clinched the gold medal in the women's 25m pistol final.
Jang-mi, who went into the final as the overwhelming favourite after setting an Olympic qualification record of 591 points, extended her lead in the first series of five with a total of 642.2, just above Ying Chen, who recorded an overall 637.
The third series kept the standings the same but Jang-mi's lead dropped from 5.2 to 2.7 as Chen tried to put pressure on the gold place.
Her Chinese opponent continued to push on and was close to claiming gold herself, but Jang-mi held out on the final series to grab the elusive medal with a total of 792.4.
Chen grabbed the silver medal with a 791.4, while Ukraine's Olena Kostevych won bronze with a 788.6 total.
