No, it was not   At first it was, but the decision was changed before Chadid shot her two last shots (as the graphics showed by moving from +5 to +6)

 

Counting that one where Rutter hit a tiny piece (which was counted, just a bit later than normal), she hit 6 out of 8 targets in the shoot off, Chadid hit 7.

She went from +5 to +6 because she had 2 shots. One was clearly scored with the traditional "puff". The other, which was the narrow one, was not.

 

The officials got it wrong.

Now that you mention it, yeah, that replay was quite useless and should have shown both shots..

I mean there was no controversy on the other shot, so I get why they focused on the replay.

 

Shame, but fair play to the Chilean, she had been the class for most of the final. And Amber did have chances to seal it herself. It's just a shame that the officiating becomes a talking point at all. Not quite boxing level, but still.

I've seen "puff" shots being credited with no hits before

Contravercial moment... in footage you can clearly see  hit the target, but shooting no longer uses slow-mo camera replay anymore.... Glad for  but clearly not fair for  Amber as she clearly hit it!!!!!!!!!

 

It's funny how in modern days we have VAR's and slow-mo replay for basically everything, but shooting decides "nah, we don't need that anymore" in a sport, where a replay will be way more beneficial, than 80% of the other sports.

I suggest watching Copa America

The Chilean also contested one of hers but wasn’t given as a hit. Did we ever see a slow-mo of that one out of curiosity?
