Both upset and lost gold! China's Olympic champions + world champions are all out: only 6th, Korea won gold and silver
The Paris Olympics are in full swing! In the women's shooting 10-meter air pistol final, the Chinese shooting team suffered a heavy blow! Olympic champion Jiang Ranxin and world champion Li Xue represented the Chinese team. As a result, both missed out on the podium. Korea won the gold and silver medals.
Shooting is the dominant sport of the Chinese delegation and the gold medal point of the Korea delegation. In the 10m air rifle mixed team competition, the first gold event on the opening day, the Chinese team formed by Huang Yuting and Sheng Lihao faced the Korea team in the gold medal battle. In the mission of striving for the first gold, the Chinese team defeated the Korea team 16-12 and successfully won the first gold medal of this Olympic Games, which is also the first gold medal of the Chinese delegation. Korea was runner-up.
Come to the women's 10m air pistol showdown! The Chinese shooting team sent a double insurance! Jiang Ranxin, at the last Tokyo Olympics, she won the bronze medal in the women's 10m air pistol and also won the gold medal in the women's 10m air pistol mixed team. Li Xue, the same age as Jiang Ranxin, was born in 2000. As an athlete of the Chinese shooting team, Li Xue once won the team championship on behalf of the Chinese shooting team in the Paris Olympic cycle. In this showdown, the Chinese shooting team sent Jiang Ranxin and Li Xue to fight, which to some extent is also a double insurance! However, Li Xue is competing in the Olympics for the first time.
In the previous qualifying rounds, Li Xue and Jiang Ranxin both played 577 rings and entered the final with sixth and eighth respectively. Obviously, the performance of the two people in the qualifying round is average, and everyone expects the two to perform better, otherwise it will be difficult to stop the Korea team from winning the championship. But to be honest, the state of the two people is really average. As an Olympic champion, Jiang Ranxin, although her form has improved, she avoided being eliminated in the first round. But then he was eliminated in the third round. In the end, it finished in sixth place. And Li Xue was then eliminated and ranked fifth. The two of them both missed the podium, which also disappointed netizens! The first and second place was won by two players from the Korea team, and the third place belonged to the India player.
It's normal to win or lose the game, but as an Olympic champion, Jiang Ranxin, and the Chinese shooting team also sent a double insurance, so it was difficult to even climb the podium, which was too unexpected! Of course, their game isn't over yet. Next, they will compete in the 10m air pistol mixed team event! In this event, Jiang Ranxin is the real defending champion. I also hope that Jiang Ranxin and Li Xue can adjust their condition as soon as possible and have a good performance in the next game!
Up to now, the Chinese delegation has ranked sixth in the medal table with 3 gold, 1 silver and 2 bronze medals. Looking forward to the Chinese Olympic athletes to have a more exciting performance in the competition! Come on!
