Du Li of China wins women's rifle 3 positions gold medal at Olympic Games

北京时间8月14日，在女子50米步枪三姿决赛中，痛失首金的中国名将杜丽终于为自己正名，以690.3环、破奥运会纪录的总成绩勇夺金牌，捷克选手埃蒙斯和古巴人克鲁斯分别获得银牌和铜牌，成绩分别为687.7环和687.6环。小将武柳希以685.9环排名第八。

Chinese shooter Du Li staged a comeback after a failure on Saturday to smash the Olympic record in the women's 50-meter rifle three positions at the Beijing Shooting Range on Thursday.

Her total score, 690.3 points or 1.9 points higher than the previous one held by Russian shooter Lioubov Galkina, ensured her a hard-won Olympic gold medal in her own country.

Katerina Emmons from the Czech Republic nailed down the silver with 687.7 points after a hot pursuit. Cuban shooter Eglis Yaima Cruz won the bronze with a slim disadvantage of 0.1 point.

Du, 26 years' old from the eastern Shandong province, advanced to the final with an Olympic record-equalling 589 points, one point higher than Cruz, while Emmons was ranked sixth with 586 points.

Competition in the final was so fierce that each shot changed position of the shooters.
