Olympic record and first gold for Guatemala
Guatemala has won a gold medal at the Olympic Games for the first time. The Central American country has Adriana Ruano Oliva to thank for this.
The 29-year-old won the trap competition on Wednesday ahead of Italy's Silvana Stanco and Australia's Penny Smith.
Three years ago, Ruano Oliva had finished 26th in Tokyo. Now she hit 45 out of 50 targets, setting an Olympic record.
The day before, the trap discipline had already caused jubilation in the Guatemalan camp. Jean Pierre Brol Cardenas came third in the men's competition. This means that Guatemala has already celebrated twice as often at the current Games as before. Between 1952 and 2023, the country had only won one medal at the Olympic Games.
