China, on Saturday, became the first country to win gold at the Paris Olympics.
In a closely fought final of the mixed-team 10-metre air rifle, teenage duo Sheng Lihao and Huang Yuting outscored Keum Ji-hyeon and Park Ha-jun from South Korea 16-12, Kazakhstan grabbing the bronze.
Meanwhile, Divers Sarah Bacon and Kassidy Cook have won the USA’s first medal of the Paris Olympics – a silver in the women’s synchronised 3m springboard event.
They finished just behind China’s Chang Yani and Chen Yiwen, who took their country’s second gold medal of the Games at just the second opportunity. Great Britain’s Yasmin Harper and Scarlett Mew Jensen finished in third.
The rain, however continues to pour heavily, across the city, and the men’s street skateboarding event has already been moved to Monday due to the bad weather.
