Same range, better outcome: 31-year-old Pistol shooter Celine Goberville of France climbed on the ISSF World Cup Final podium for the second time in 24 hours, as she added the women's 10m Air Pistol Gold medal to the Silver she won yesterday in the 10m Air Pistol Mixed Team, alongside her teammate Florian Fouquet.

Goberville shot greatly during the whole final, distancing herself from the pack since the very first series. Her only bad shot came late in the match, as she hit a scary 8.5 on her second-to-last one, allowing People's Republic of China's Lin Yuemei to reduce the gap to 2.2-point, but sealing her victory with an excellent 10.1 on the following and conclusive shot.

Goberville finished with 240.9 points, while Lin closed her final with 237.0.

"The 8.5 at the penultimate shot was due to too much pressure," Goberville said. "Actually, the last four were complicated, my heartbeat went up and I had a small loosening."

"It's my first medal since some time," she added. "I went through a difficult period regarding my technique and sensations. We looked into it to get back to the source and now it's finally coming back."
