A tiny landlocked European country surrounded by Italy, San Marino enjoyed a breakout moment at Tokyo2020 on Thursday, winning its first ever Olympic medal.

Shooter Alessandra Perilli -- one of just five Sammarinese athletes at the Olympics -- is the new hero of the microstate, which has a population of 34,000, after winning a bronze medal in the women's trap.Perilli's victory ensured that San Marino is now the smallest country in history to win a medal at the Olympics."What a day to be Sammarinese," tweeted the San Marino fan account.

Perilli counts her sister as one of her sporting heroes, according to her profile on the Olympics website. Between 2013 and 2014, Perilli took seven months away from the sport, after becoming pregnant with her son. "We have gone through this whole process and we won the medal together as a team," said Perilli as she reflected on her medal success."Now, the first person I'd like to say is thank you to is my coach, Luca Di Mari. We've really done a lot together.

We need better training for cops man. How come rules of engagement are so much stricter for troops over seas but here in the states we can’t have these dudes shooting straighter?
