The news first broke on Twitter on Wednesday that Kiejko had repeated the gold medal feat in the longer showdown against the best shooters from the Americas gathered at the Pan Am Shooting Centre in Innisfil, Ontario.

Pan Am officials later made it official. The win is Canada’s third in shooting at Toronto 2015.

Lynda Kiejko shoots in the 10m pistol event where she won the first of her two Toronto 2015 Pan Am Games gold medals.
