Satu Makela-Nummela of Finland won the Olympic women's Trap shooting gold medal on Monday.
Zuzana Stefecekova of Slovakia took the silver while Corey Cogdell of the United States claimed the bronze after winning a shoot-off with three other competitors.
It was the first Olympic Games for all three medallists, who took advantage of the absence of 2004 Athens champion Suzanne Balogh of Australia.
"It is amazing," said Makela-Nummela. "I did not believe I would win today.
"I could not concentrate in the final because I was thinking of home. But it's good I did not think of the results or who was breathing down my neck.
"That made sure I was not under any pressure."
