Miao Wanru adds women's 50m rifle 3 positions gold for China at Cairo worlds

Before the final shot, Stene enjoyed a safe 0.9-point cushion ahead of Maddalena, and Miao was on the verge of elimination 0.2 points further behind. However, the American World Cup Final winner made a sub-par 9.0 in the deciding shot, while Miao took the advantage to clinch a place in the gold medal match with a 10.7.

In an equally, if not more dramatic, gold medal match, Miao was down 4-10 after making three consecutive sub-10 shots, including an awful 8.5. The debutante managed to recover her form afterward though, taking eight points in a row to turn the table around 12-10 and shared the next two points with her Norwegian rival to lead 13-11.
