BEIJING (AP) - Katerina Emmons has spoiled China’s bid for the first gold medal of the Beijing Olympics by winning the 10-meter air rifle for the Czech Republic.

Emmons is the wife of American shooter Matt Emmons. She finished Saturday with an Olympic record of 503.5 points after shooting a perfect 400 in qualifying. Lioubov Galkina of Russia won the silver. Snjezana Pejcic of Croatia took the bronze.

The big surprise was a fifth-place finish by Du Li of China. She won this event four years ago in Athens. Du was just a point behind Emmons after qualifying.
