South Korea's Yang Ji-In won gold in the women's 25 meter pistol event at the Paris Olympics on Saturday after a shoot-off with France's Camille Jedrzejewski.
Yang and Jedrzejewski were even at 37 points, forcing the shoot-off in which the South Korean prevailed 4-1 in her Olympic debut.
"This gold medal has proved I am the world's best right now," Yang said. "I will have to train harder to try to put the flag highest once again in LA."
South Korea has now won five shooting medals at these Games, matching the country's previous Olympic high from the 2012 London Games.
Local favorite Jedrzejewski said she struggled to control her emotions in the final shots. Still, she won silver to claim France's first shooting medal in Paris.
"I lost maybe because my emotions were running very high, but I'm happy with my silver," she said. "There was a lot of emotion in the hall, and it was a really intense competition."
Hungary's Veronika Major won the bronze also via a shoot-off, denying India's Manu Bhaker a third medal of these Games.
"I was very happy to go to the final in the first place," Major said. "This is the greatest moment of my career so far."
It's Hungary's first shooting medal of any kind since 2004.
American Katelyn Abeln finished eighth in her Olympic debut.
