Yi taking aim at a repeat

China has two of the best female rifle shooters in the world, and both will be in the hunt for the first gold to be decided at the Rio Olympics on Saturday.

Yi Siling, the 27-year-old defending champion, said she is less nervous than four years ago in London.

"Pressure is always there, in every competition, so the only thing you can do is to know how to deal with it," said Yi, who won at least one gold medal in every World Cup event she entered until this year's Olympic trials, where she came up empty.
