Penny Smith secured bronze in the Women’s Trap Shooting, maintaining her composure throughout the six-woman final, reaching as high as second in the early going before finishing in an impressive third place with a score of 32.

The team also recorded two finalists, and sixth and ninth places across the 10 events the Australian Shooting Team competed in.

Among the competitors was an impressive four-time Olympian, a debutant athlete, and multiple Games appearances from the 10 athletes who proudly represented Australia in pistol, rifle and shotgun shotgun events.

Head of Delegation and Shooting Australia’s Chief Executive Officer Adam Sachs expressed his gratitude to the team. 

“I want to thank and congratulate every member of our Shooting Team at these Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Each and every one of them has demonstrated the dedication and professionalism that we have come to expect from members of an Australian Olympic Team.

“I want to pay tribute to Penny Smith and James Willett for making their finals in the Women’s Trap and Men’s Trap finals. On behalf of the entire Australian Shooting community, I offer my heartfelt congratulations to Penny for winning the Olympic bronze medal. We are all so proud of this achievement.”
