American Corey Cogdell won a dramatic four-way shoot-off for bronze. All three rivals for bronze before her missed the target before Cogdell stepped up and fired off a shot that just chipped off a small piece of the orange target.

"It's unbelievable," said Makela-Nummela, 37, who finished with 91 targets, two ahead of Stefecekova.


Asked if she had been nervous with the final so close, Makela-Nummela said: "No, I tried to stay relaxed."

Cogdell, who grew up going moose hunting in Alaska with her father, was in medal contention behind joint leaders Makela-Nummela and Stefecekova after the qualification round. But she struggled in the early rounds before hitting her last five targets to draw even at 86.

"I've only been shooting this for the past two years so I definitely didn't expect to do this so early in my career. This is an incredible blessing," said Codgell.
