American teenager Virginia Thrasher
won the first gold medal of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games on Saturday,
holding her nerve against two Chinese Olympic champions to clinch the
women's 10m air rifle event.
The
19-year-old American edged out China's Du Li, gold in Athens in 2004,
with an Olympic-record score of 208. Defending Olympic champion Yi
Siling, also of China, took the bronze medal.
Thrasher was awarded the first gold of the Games by International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach.
