Australian shooter Catherine Skinner has won a gold medal in the women's trap, defeating New Zealand's Natalie Rooney in the final.
The Victorian hit 12 of 15 targets, one more than her opponent in the gold-medal match, and described the win as "surreal".
"It's one of those things that you say in the mirror before it all happens going 'yeah it's going to happen, it will!' But at the moment it really happened? It's really hard to describe just how surreal this is," she said.
The win makes her Australia's fifth gold medallist in trap shooting and lifts Australia's gold medal tally to three.
Skinner, 26, progressed through the semi-final shooting 14 of 15 targets to finalise her place in the final match.
American Corey Cogdell, a three-time Olympian, won her second bronze medal by besting Spain's Fatima Galvez in a shoot-off, after each woman shot 13 of their 15 targets for the medal.
