CHATEAUROUX, France — Teenage South Korea shooter Ban Hyojin found out just how fine the winning margin in her sport can be as she won an Olympic gold medal by one-tenth of a point. The 16-year-old Ban beat 17-year-old Huang Yuting of China to the women's 10-meter air rifle gold medal by just 0.1 of a point in a one-shot shoot-off after they were tied on 251.8 points from 22 shots, a score which meant both equaled the Olympic record. Ban became the youngest-ever female Olympic champion in shooting. Huang won her second medal of the Paris Games after she and teammate Sheng Lihao won the 10-meter mixed team air rifle on Saturday.
