Galkina looks to spoil Du's bid for Games' first gold

Behind the beautiful eyes and gentle smile of Russian markswoman Lioubov Galkina lurks a dangerous rival for China at the Beijing Olympics.

She has but one ambition: to stop Du Li from winning the first gold medal at China's home Games.

The 35-year-old veteran settled for silver in Athens four years ago, narrowly losing to Du on the final shot of the 10m air rifle, as the Chinese won the first gold of the Athens Games.
