TOKYO (Reuters) -Russian shooter Vitalina Batsarashkina won the women's 10-metre pistol event at the Tokyo Olympics on Sunday to claim the gold medal that narrowly eluded her five years ago in Rio. Batsarashkina mounted a spectacular charge over the closing shots to win gold at the Asaka Shooting Range with an Olympic record of 240.3. World number one Istvan Peni of Hungary came fifth, while Russian Vladimir Maslennikov, who won the bronze in Rio, finished eighth. The 52-year-old, who won the 25-metre pistol gold at the 1988 Seoul Games, did not get to the final and finished 31st. Athens Olympic champion Olena Kostevych of Ukraine finished fourth, while Rio 25-metre pistol champion Anna Korakaki of Greece came sixth.
