    And as if one possible wasn't enough, now Sonja Pfeilschifter has shot a perfect 400 for the Women's Air Rifle match too!

    The scores here were no less scary:

    1 69 Pfeilschifter, Sonja BAY Bayern 100 100 100 100 400
    2 643 Caruso, Emily USA United States of America 99 100 100 100 399
    3 459 Staron, Agnieszka POL Poland 98 100 100 100 398
    4 146 Kalna, Pavla CZE Czech Republic 99 100 99 100 398
    5 297 Shirur, Suma IND Indien 100 98 100 100 398
    6 561 Graber, Yvonne SUI Switzerland 100 100 99 99 398
    7 452 Bogacka, Sylwia POL Poland 97 100 100 100 397
    8 57 Budzko, Sviatlana BLR Belarus 100 100 100 98 398


    And sixth and seventh places had to be tiebroken in the final with a shoot-off: Bogacka shot a 10.6 and Graber a 10.8. That's how tight it was in that finals. 397 was the lowest score, and even then, four women shot a 397 in the match, but only one got to go on to the finals!

    But were all 60 shots 10.9s?

    Doesn't matter Manic - only one other person in the world ever shot a 600 before (and that was six years ago). More women have hit 400 - Sonja makes it a total of 13 - but still. More people have walked on the moon than have shot possibles in air rifle. And now two get shot in the same match!
