In the event, the Russian olympian brought home some hardware of her own, earning the gold medal in the event. In doing so, she beat out beat Bulgaria’s Antoaneta Kostadinova, who won silver, and China’s Jiang Ranxin, who took home bronze. Anyone interested in watching the event can see a video of the final right on ABC’s website.

Back when she competed in 2016, Batsarashkina also wore a School of the Wolf Witcher medallion (also above) that is worn by Geralt of Rivia throughout the series. Alongside this item, she also has some Witcher illustrations on her shooting glasses, all according to Kotaku. That time around, she placed second, earning her a silver medal.
