Bang! Bang! Bang! In the shooting arena of the Paris Olympics, Liu Yukun, a Chinese boy, not only shattered the Olympic record with one golden bullet after another, but also shattered the hopes of his opponent. The 24-year-old "sharpshooter" added another gold to the Chinese delegation with an astonishing score of 463.6 rings!
But behind this thrilling competition, are you curious: what made Liu Yukun reach the top of the Olympics at such a young age? Why can Chinese shooting achieve great results in the international arena?
Let's take a look back at this thrilling match. Liu Yukun showed super strength in the qualifying round, setting a new Olympic record with a score of 594 rings. After reaching the final, the young lad's performance was even more impressive. From kneeling to lying and then to vertical shooting, Liu Yukun's performance can be said to be more and more courageous. Especially in the final single-shot elimination stage, he showed super psychological quality, scored high scores in the last two shots, and finally won the gold medal with a 2.3-ring advantage.
1. Winning with technology: Precise as hair, stable as a rock
Liu Yukun's technical level can be said to be perfect. Especially in the standing shots, he showed exceptional consistency. You must know that vertical shooting is the most difficult position to control in shooting, and the slightest mistake will be a thousand miles away. But Liu Yukun was able to catch up in this link and win the championship in one fell swoop, which shows that his basic skills are so solid that he is almost like treating a gun as a part of his body!
Think about it, in that high-pressure environment, how strong is the psychological quality of this young man? It is estimated that even if you put an apple in front of him, he can perform a unique job of "shooting apples" for you! But then again, this kind of stability is not something that can be cultivated overnight, and there must be hard training behind it that is unimaginable for ordinary people.
2. Psychological game: calm as ice, flexible as water
The shooting competition is not just as simple as aiming at the target and pulling the trigger, but also a silent psychological warfare. Liu Yukun's psychological quality in the competition is simply textbook-level! Especially in the final single-shot elimination stage, when the other players began to be nervous and sweaty palms, Liu Yukun seemed to have entered the "selfless realm", shot after shot, as steady as Mount Tai.
You look at his calm appearance, as if he is not playing a game, but playing a target in the backyard. This kind of psychological quality, I'm afraid that even the "Buddhist youth" has to give a thumbs up when they see it! But then again, this kind of psychological quality is not innate, but can only be achieved through countless simulation training and actual combat training. It seems that if you want to win a gold medal in the Olympic Games, it is not enough to have marksmanship, you also have to have an "iron heart"!
3. Team support: Heroes behind the scenes
Although what we saw was Liu Yukun's wonderful performance on the field alone, don't forget that there is a strong team behind him silently supporting. From coaches to physical trainers, from psychological counselors to nutritionists, everyone is contributing to Liu Yukun's success.
It reminds me of an old saying: "One person can go fast, but a group of people can go far." "The success of the Chinese shooting team is the best embodiment of this team spirit. They are like a precision machine, and every part fits together perfectly to create such a great result. I have to say that this kind of teamwork spirit is a hundred times stronger than the "wolf culture"!
4. Institutional guarantee: the "sharp eyes" of the national team
The fact that the Chinese shooting team has been able to achieve great results in the international arena is inseparable from the mainland's perfect system for selecting and cultivating sports talents. From the grassroots sports school to the national team, every link is like a strict sieve, checked at all levels, and only the best seedlings can stand out.
This kind of system is like a huge "talent incubator", constantly sending fresh blood to the national team. Liu Yukun's success is the best proof that this system works well. But then again, while this system is effective, it can't ignore the focus on the individualized development of athletes. After all, we need "sharpshooters" who can win gold medals at the Olympics, not a bunch of "robots" who can shoot!
Some people say that shooting this kind of project is not just standing there and pulling the trigger? What's the big deal? In this regard, I can only say: Your idea is even more distorted than twist! Shooters need not only accurate marksmanship, but also iron will and a high degree of concentration. You try it, stand there motionless and aim for hours and see if you can hold out!
Some people also questioned whether the Chinese team's superiority in shooting events was piled up by the "national system"? In this regard, I want to say: Your point of view, I'm afraid it's a bit "short-sighted"! Yes, the support of the state is important, but without the efforts and talent of the athletes themselves, no amount of resources will be in vain. It's like if you give a pig a gun, it can't become a sharpshooter, right?
Liu Yukun's gold medal is not only his personal honor, but also a reflection of the strength of China's shooting sports. It tells us that with perseverance, there is no goal that cannot be missed! At the same time, however, we must also be soberly aware that international competition is becoming increasingly fierce, and we cannot afford to sleep on the laurels of the past.
We need to continue to innovate training methods, enhance the use of technology, and also focus on the all-round development of athletes. After all, we want to train elite athletes who can be role models on and off the field, not "robots" who can only pull the trigger.
Finally, let's cheer for Liu Yukun again! Young man, your marksmanship is even more accurate than that of an archer! But then again, next time you see someone who makes you angry, don't think "I'm good at marksmanship, I'm in charge"! After all, we are good comrades who are civilized and polite!
In short, let us look forward to seeing more Chinese shooters like Liu Yukun in the future arena, using their gold medals to win honor for the motherland and contribute to the development of China's sports industry! Come on, China shoots! You are our "strongest firepower"!
