Ungerank surprisingly reached today's final in the women's small bore three-position match on Thursday. 589 rings meant seventh place out of 32 starters. The top eight qualified for the final, which will be held at the shooting range in Châteauroux on Friday.

"I can't quite put it into perspective at the moment," she said "still in competition mode" immediately afterwards. She started the competition late because the wind conditions were different to those at the shooting range and she therefore had to adjust. "But it still turned out really well in terms of time." And also the result.

Ungerank came 28th in the air rifle, and together with Martin Strempfl she came 15th in the mixed air rifle team. In her third appearance at her first Summer Games, she is now fighting for a medal.
