Sonja Pfeilschifter (GER) had won three world titles in rifle shooting, after winning the 1991 World Junior title with the air rifle. But she had disappointed at the 2000 Olympics, failing to medal. In the qualifying of this event, she barely made the final, as the leader was Lyubov Galkina (RUS), who set an Olympic record with 399. Trailing by one point were Du Li and Zhao Yinghui of China, and the 2002 World Champion, Kateřina Kůrková of the Czech Republic. Du had been runner-up to Kůrková in 2002 and was the strongest in the final, shooting 104.0 to take the gold over Galkina, with Kůrková winning a bronze medal. Pfeilschifter placed sixth. Du would return in 2006 to win the World Championship, while Kůrková would win gold at the Beijing Olympics. In Athina Kůrková met American small-bore shooter Matt Emmons. They fell in love and married in June 2007, in Pilsen, Czech Republic.
