The leader after qualifying was the 2002 World Champion, Olga Dovgun of Kazakhstan. But she faltered in the final round, shooting the lowest score of the finalists, and dropped back to fourth. The gold medal was won by Lyubov Galkina (RUS) who had the highest score of the final round with 101.4. Six days earlier, Galkina had won a silver medal in air rifle and she would repeat that medal in 2008. Three-time world rifle champion Sonja Pfeilschifter struggled at the Olympics, as she had in 2000, and placed sixth. Dovgun would defend her World title in 2006.
