This is the first gold medal to be awarded at the Olympics.
NANCY JOHNSON OF THE US WINS GOLD BY .2 OF A POINT!!!
The other US representative Jayme Dickman finished a creditable sixth.
Quote of the moment came not from Nancy, but her husband Ken, who will be shooting in the Mens Air Rifle event: "Now I'll HAVE to win a medal or I'll be doing the washing up for the next four years!"
