Czech Olympic shooting champion Emmons taking year’s break

The Czech Olympic champion Kateřina Emmons is taking a year’s break from competition. Emmons, whose gold in the 10m air rifle was the first medal awarded in Beijing, said she had decided before the games not to compete next year. The 24-year-old said she had already locked her guns away and did not miss them at all. Kateřina Emmons, who also took a silver medal in Beijing, is married to the American rifle shooter Matt Emmons.
