(Beijing, April 16) The women's 25m pistol final of the "Good Luck Beijing" ISSF World Cup concluded at the Beijing Shooting Range Hall this afternoon, with 2005 European Championships winner Jasna Sekaric of Serbia, winning the gold with 784.4 points. China's veteran Chen Ying collected 780.0 points to place sixth, much to the surprise of all.

In today's final Chen Ying, ranking second in the qualifications, failed to bring out her best with two 46.8 in the second and third strings respectively, resulting in a 6.4-point margin behind the leader. Although she shot a final-high 51.1 in the final string she had to be content with a sixth place due to too much points lost in the previous shots.

42-year-old Jasna Sekaric achieved the same score of 784.4 points as Stephanie Tirode of France did. However, the former European champion was eventually awarded the title after scoring 50.6, or 0.2 point better than that of Stephanie Tirode in the shoot-off.

Placing second to eighth were Stephanie Tirode, Mongolian Munkzui Tsogvadrah (783.4), Albanian Lindita Kodra (782.0), Korean Gim Yunmi (781.8), Russian Yuliya Alipava (778.6) and Thai Tanyporn Prucksakorn (776.6).

China's Guo Wenjun and Fei Fengji failed to enter the final by placing 19th (577) and 26th (576) respectively. 35-year-old Maria Grozdeva of Bulgaria, double Olympic champion at both Sydney 2000 and Athens 2004, didn't make the next round either after placing 18th with 577.
