Chen Ying has won gold in the 25-meter pistol, giving China its sixth medal in shooting.

Chen was third entering the finals, but scored 208.4 points in the last round Wednesday to finish with 793.4 points and the win.

Chen won the 2006 world championships and finished fourth in the 2004 Olympics.

She trailed by five points entering the finals but outshot silver medalist Gundegmaa Otryad of Mongolia by 6.2 points for the win.

Otryad shot a 590 in the qualifying rounds to tie an Olympic record.

Otryad stopped shooting during one of her five-shot series in the final round because of an apparent malfunction. She was allowed to finish that series after the rest of the competitors.

Germany's Munkhbayar Dorjsuren shot a 789.2 for the bronze and China's Fei Fengji was fourth. Maria Grozdeva of Bulgaria, who won the event in 2000 and 2004, finished fifth and Jo Yong Suk of North Korea was sixth.
