"I'm dreaming of more medals," she said, "more European medals, more World Cup medals, and, why not, more Olympic medals." The semifinals guaranteed a new Olympic champion, and Korakaki, more relaxed after winning the bronze, ultimately earned it. Zhang shot an Olympic qualifying record of 592, beating by one the mark of 2012 champion Kim Jangmi of South Korea. She had been one point from an Olympic gold medal, leading 6-0, in the women's 25-meter pistol final on Tuesday but began to choke. Karsch started the seventh five-shot series hitting the wrong target, and Korakaki retook the lead going to the last shot.
