LONDON (AP) -- Sonja Pfeilschifter of Germany won the 10-meter air rifle final on the last shot in the London World Cup on Thursday, but wasn't sure she'll be allowed to compete in the event in the Olympics.

Pfeilschifter, ranked No. 2, qualified for the final behind only top-ranked Yi Siling of China, who scored a world record-tying 400 out of 400 in qualifying.

In the final, Pfeilschifter scored 105 for a winning 503 total. She made a 10.2 on her last shot to overtake Yi, who fired a 9.2. Yi tallied 502.5 and Lisa Ungerank of Austria earned the bronze medal - her first World Cup podium - with 500.3 after winning a 10-way shootoff to make the final.
