Amber Rutter: Team GB shooter takes silver in controversial skeet final at Paris 2024

Great Britain’s Amber Rutter had to settle for silver in a dramatic and controversial final of the women’s skeet *********.

The 26-year-old finished in a tie of 55 shots out of 60 targets with Chile’s Francisca Crovetto Chadid.

They went to a ******-off and were still tied after three rounds but, in a moment of contention, Rutter was called to have missed a shot which slow motion replays appeared to show she hit.

She contested the call, but *********’s version of a video assistant referee (VAR)/Hawkeye is not in use at the Olympics and the judges did not overturn the decision.

Crovetto Chadid, 34, struck with both her next shots to make history and clinch her country’s first ever ********* gold medal.

But BBC commentator Rory McAllister said it was “a moment of controversy that will be talked about for days and weeks to come”.
