Chinese shooter Yi Siling won the first gold medal of the London 2012 Olympic Games with victory in the women's 10m Air Rifle.
The 23-year-old world number one and gold medal favourite lived up to her billing by beating Poland's Sylwia Bogacka into second place.
Bogacka, 30, qualified in first place and was leading until the eighth shot, when a wayward effort condemned her to silver.
China's Yu Dan collected the bronze medal with Beijing 2008 gold medallist Katrina Emmons fourth.
