Day two of the Rio Games proved quite the breeze for some athletes and much too windy for others. They had won the gold medal in women's doubles every time they entered the event: in 2000, 2008 and 2012. But Zhang Mengxue picked up the slack, earning China's fourth air pistol gold in the last five Games. The Americans, also featuring first-time Olympians Brittney Griner, Ella Delle Donne and Breanna Stewart, have won 42 consecutive Olympic games. China has dominated the air rifle and pistol shooting events at the Olympics, earning nine gold medals since the 2000 Sydney Games.
