This event had several surprises. The two favorites were the defending champion Lithuania’s Daina Gudzinevičiūtė and China’s Gao E. But neither made the final. The gold went to Australian Suzanne Balogh, who was ranked only 20th in the world and had never won a medal at a major international previously. She led after the qualifying with 66 and with 22/25 in the final won easily, by four points.
