Du Li (simplified Chinese: 杜丽; traditional Chinese: 杜麗; pinyin: Dù Lì; born March 5, 1982 in Yiyuan, Zibo, Shandong) is a female Chinese sport shooter who competed in the 2004 Summer Olympics, where she won the gold medal in the women's 10 metre air rifle competition. She has achieved the maximum 400 in this event twice (2003 and 2006). She was unable to defend that title in the 2008 Summer Olympics, losing to Kateřina Emmons on August 9, 2008, and finishing 5th in the 2008 Summer Olympics.[1][2] However, she fought back to win a gold medal in the women's 50 metre rifle three positions competition, setting a new Olympic record in the process.[3]
