Czech markswoman Emmons wins World Cup and equals world record

Czech markswoman Kateřina Emmons snatched the gold medal in the women’s 10-metre air rifle and equaled the world record of 504.9 points in the World Cup in Beijing on Saturday. Emmons, a bronze medalist at the Athens Olympics, was followed by German Sonja Pfeilschifter who collected 502.4 points. Emmons’ form looks good going into the Olympics, but she remained cool-headed about the victory. “Just because I won here today doesn’t mean I can win an Olympic medal”, she said after the competition.
