Penny Smith (born 21 April 1995) is an Australian sports shooter.[2]

Career

[edit]

Smith competed in the women's trap event and also the team event with Thomas Grice at the 2020 Summer Olympics.[3] She did not score sufficient points in either event to advance past qualification.[4][5]

3 years later, Smith competed in the women's trap event at the 2024 Summer Olympics. Smith finished the qualification round in a three-way tie for sixth, but won a shoot-off to progress to the final. Smith won her first Olympic medal by coming third to claim the bronze. [6]
