Medal record

Pelosi qualified for the Italian team, as a 43-year-old, in the women's trap at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens.[2] She had registered a minimum qualifying score of 67 to fill out one of the Olympic places awarded to Italy from her top finish at the 2002 ISSF World Cup meet in Suhl, Germany.[1][4][5] Pelosi scored 58 hits out of a possible 75 to impose a three-way tie with Great Britain's Sarah Gibbins and 2000 Olympic double trap champion Pia Hansen of Sweden for ninth place in the qualifying round, just two targets away from the final cutoff.[6][7]
