Katerina Emmons is the first gold medallist of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. She is the winner of the Women's 10 meter Air Rifle; you should also know that she's the daughter of two-time world champion Petr Kurka, who doubles as her coach and her husband is Athens shooting gold medallist, Matt Emmons.
In fact, the 24-year-old Czech Republic sharp-shooter met her husband at Athens 4 years ago, when, competing under the name Katerina Kurkova, she won a bronze medal and Matt, representing USA, took the Men's 50m Rifle Prone gold (a title he will defend in Beijing on August 15). Nice couple, huh?
