Switzerland's Chiara Leone won the gold in the women's 50-metre rifle three positions at the Paris Olympics on Friday.
Sagen Maddalena from the United States wins the silver while China's Zhang Qiongyue took the bronze.

Maddalena, who topped Thursday's qualification, totalled 463 in a fascinating final where the top five often exchanged places heading into the elimination round at the Chateauroux Shooting Centre.
