Chinese shooter Li Yuehong proved his mettle 🏅 at the ISSF World Cup Final in New Delhi, claiming gold in the men’s 25-meter rapid fire pistol event after a dramatic showdown. The 35-year-old Olympian, already a Paris 2024 gold medalist, led early with a flawless performance but faced nail-biting tension when Germany’s Christian Reitz challenged scoring decisions—twice. While Li fell short of his own world record (39 hits), his 34-hit finish secured his second World Cup title since 2021.
🇨🇳 Team China dominated the podium: Wang Xinjie grabbed bronze in the same event, while Han Jiayu and Feng Sixuan added two more bronzes in women’s rifle and pistol competitions. Denmark’s Rikke Maeng Ibsen and Germany’s Josefin Eder took top honors in their respective categories.
🔥 Li’s win cements his status as a shooting legend—now with Olympic AND World Cup glory. Talk about hitting the bullseye! 🎯
