Paris – Shooter Francesca Crovito won the gold medal in skeet at the Paris Olympics this Sunday, the third Olympic title in the history of Chile.
So far, only tennis has led Chilean sports to the podium, with Nicolás Massú winning the singles gold medal at the 2004 Athens Olympics, and Massú himself and Fernando González winning the doubles gold medal.
Crovito won a suspenseful victory over Britain’s Amber Jo Rutter, with whom she had to go into the decider after scoring 55 hits at the Chatroulette shooting range.
Austin Jewell Smith of the United States won the bronze medal with 45 points.
The 34-year-old shooter from San Miguel finally found the reward for his long career after qualifying for four Olympic Games.
He was eighth in London, 19th in Rio and 23rd in Tokyo.
“Fran” has been a shooter since she was 13 and wanted to be an Olympian since she saw Massu and González win medals in Athens in 2004. Today, she has become their successor as an Olympic champion.
He is Chile’s first medal in these Olympics.
Chile was one of the countries that participated in the first modern Olympic Games in Athens (Athens 1896). Since then, Chile has won 14 medals: four in tennis, three in boxing, two in athletics, equestrianism and shooting, and one in football. Efei
