Johanne Brekke (right) celebrates her bronze medal

"I can't deny it's a bit of a relief to get it over with," said the 27-year-old from Roath in Cardiff.

"I'm very happy with my performance but you always want a little bit more from yourself.

"The conditions were pretty tough and the wind was difficult to master. It's been such a fantastic day for Welsh shooting - absolutely stunning."

Melbourne is Brakke's third Commonwealth Games and she finished just two shots off the gold medal in a high-quality final.

"I finished fifth in the same event in Manchester so I'm happy to have secured a medal this time," she said.
