Penny Smith has claimed Australia's second medal on day five of the Paris Olympics, winning bronze in the women's trap shooting.

The 29-year old only just scraped into the final, after she finished the qualification round in a three-way tie for sixth, but won a shoot-off to progress.

Once there, she outlasted her opponents, to finish third.

It is also the world number 11's first Olympic medal, after Smith was sixth in the trap and mixed trap team at the Tokyo Games.

It came 20 years after Suzanne Balogh claimed gold in the same event at the Athens Games.
