19 year-old Virginia Thrasher (USA) just won GOLD!!!

in the 10m air rifle shoot-off at the Olympics. How fine! Defeated both Chinese shooters by a full point.

I hoped that Sarah Scherer would do better, since she's from the Dallas area. But alas, she finished 8th.

I REALLY like the new shootoff format. Exciting and suspenseful to watch.

Big congrats to Ginny.
Great Job to Sarah too .... both USA contestants made the final!

Amazing performance by Ginny.

I too wished Sarah had performed better. She posted on FB that one of the officials made her change her buttplate 10 minutes before the final!

Great seeing her performance live. What an amazing year she is having!

FYI
NBC Sports has a free app that lets you get alerts and stream live all the shooting finals (and other sports also ;). They also have the streams recorded so you can watch later. (There is just a 30 second video prior to the event, and then you are good to go.

So if you did not get a chance to watch this morning, you can watch it now.
