CHATEAUROUX, France — Chile won its first Olympic gold medal in 20 years when Francisca Crovetto took victory in the women's skeet. Amber Rutter of Britain took silver just over three months after becoming a mother. Crovetto won the gold in a shoot-off, hitting her last two targets for the win after a disputed call to give Rutter a miss. TV replays showed Rutter's shot had seemed to clip the target. Austen Smith won the bronze for the United States a day after her coach Vincent Hancock won his fourth gold medal in men's skeet.
