Chile celebrated a historic moment as Francisca Crovetto secured the nation's first Olympic gold medal in 20 years by triumphing in the women's skeet event.

In a thrilling shoot-off, Crovetto sealed her victory by hitting her last two targets, overshadowing a disputed call that gave Britain's Amber Rutter a miss, despite TV replays indicating it clipped the target. Rutter, who recently became a mother, claimed the silver medal.

The bronze went to Austen Smith of the United States, who achieved her podium finish a day after her coach, Vincent Hancock, won his fourth gold medal in men's skeet.
