China's Du Li clinched the first gold medal at the Athens Olympics after she won the women's 10m air rifle event on Saturday.
The 22-year-old outscored a host of elite markswomen, including compatriot Zhao Yinghui, world number one Lioubov Galkina of Russia and world and European champion Katerina Kurkova of the Czech Republic, winning with an Olympic record score of 502.0 points.
Galkina, who led through the 10-shot final until the last round, took the silver with 501.5 points. Kurkova won the bronze medal with 501.1 points.
Zhao, a title favorite before the Games, only finished a disappointing fourth on 500.8 points.
