This was the first time that women competed in trap shooting as a separate event. American Kim Rhode was barely 17-years-old but led the preliminary round with 108. In the final, she dropped back early but hit 19 or her last 20 birds to win the gold medal. Germany’s Susanne Kiermayer and Australia’s Deserie Huddleston tied for the other medals, with Kiermayer winning silver when Huddleston missed her second bird in the shoot-off. Kim Rhode would win gold in this event again in 2004 and also win a bronze in 2000.
