Francisca Crovetto Chadid of Chile won the women's skeet gold medal at the Paris Olympics, marking the country's first Olympic gold in 20 years. In a dramatic shoot-off, Crovetto triumphed over Britain's Amber Rutter, who took silver despite a controversial shot that was ruled a miss, although replays suggested otherwise. Crovetto secured her victory by hitting her last two targets, while Rutter's recent experience as a new mother added to the emotional stakes of the event. The bronze medal was awarded to Austen Smith of the United States, following her coach Vincent Hancock's earlier gold in men's skeet. This victory is significant for Chile, showcasing the nation’s return to Olympic shooting glory.
