Diana Igaly of Hungary won gold in the women's skeet shooting event at the Athens Olympics on Thursday with a flawless performance in the final. The Budapest bookbinder hit every one of the 25 targets to win with an overall score of 97, including her total of 72 from the qualifying round.

Roared on by a large Hungarian contingent in the crowd at the hilltop shooting centre outside Athens, Igaly was never seriously threatened by her rivals.

China's Wei Ning won silver after a shoot-off with Zemfira Meftakhetdinova of Azerbaijan, who won bronze.
