China's Yang Qian has won the first gold medal of the 2020 Olympics

China's Yang Qian has won the first gold medal of the 2020 Olympics after outlasting the field today in a nail-biting final in the women's 10-meter air rifle competition.

Anastasiia Galashina, competing for Russia led Yang 231.4 to 231.3 heading into the final two shots.

Galashina doubled the lead with a 10.8 on her next shot to Yang's 10.7.

But Galashina fired an astonishingly low 8.9 with her last shot, a few seconds before Yang clinched gold with a pedestrian but sufficient 9.8, her worst shot of the 24 she took in the final.

Switzerland's Nina Christen took bronze.
