It wasn't meant to be for American shooter Sagen Maddalena.
The 30-year-old came close to winning bronze in the women's 10m air rifle event at the 2024 Paris Olympics on Monday, but narrowly missed out on the opportunity to stand on the podium.
She was beaten out by Switzerland's Audrey Gogniat, who eventually took bronze, while South Korea's Ban Hyo-jin won gold and China's Huang Yuting claimed the silver.
Maddalena will have two more opportunities to win a medal in the women's 50m rifle 3 positions and mixed team 10m air rifle events. Mary Tucker, who was eliminated in qualifications for the women's 10m air rifle event, will also be competing in the women's 50m rifle 3 positions and mixed team 10m air rifle events, likely giving the U.S. its best chance of winning a medal.
Later in the day, the men's 10m air rifle event took place as China's Sheng Lihao claimed his second gold. The 19-year-old Chinese won with an Olympic record aggregate of 252.2 to finish ahead of Sweden's Victor Lindgren, who scored 251.4 to take the silver medal. Miran Maricic won the bronze for Croatia.
Sheng was part of the Chinese duo who won the mixed team gold on Saturday.
