Zuzana Rehak Stefecekova of Slovakia won the women's trap gold medal in the Tokyo Olympics at the Asaka Shooting Range on Thursday.
Kayle Browning of the United States won the silver while the bronze went to Alessandra Perilli of San Marino. Two-time silver medallist Stefecekova had hit all 125 targets to storm into the final where she prevailed 43-42 against Browning.
Perilli's third place finish ensured San Marino's first-ever Olympic medal. World number one Fatima Galvez of Spain and 2012 London champion Jessica Rossi of Italy could not get through the qualifying round.
Earlier, Czech Jiri Liptak topped the men's qualification hitting 124 targets. Croatia's Josip Glasnovic, the champion from Rio, crashed out in the qualification round.
