When 17-year-old Huang Yuting clinched China's first gold at the #Paris2024 Olympics in the 10m air rifle mixed team event, her hometown of Taizhou erupted in pride 🎉. But how did this calm teenager transform into a sharpshooting superstar? Let’s break it down 👇.
🎯 The Early Days
Huang started shooting at just 11, joining Taizhou’s local team in 2017. By 2021, she’d already cracked the Zhejiang Provincial Team – a launchpad for national glory. Her secret? 'She’s always been ice-cool under pressure,' says youth coach Lin Kehan. ❄️
🧠 Mindset of a Champion
'In big competitions, she doesn’t just perform – she thrives,' Lin told CGTN. Huang’s schoolteacher Lu Lingjun adds: 'Her perseverance and work ethic make her a role model for all our students.' 📚
🌟 Legacy in the Making
As Huang’s victory video played at her high school, students saw proof that focus + grit = Olympic gold. And with Paris being just her debut? The shooting world better watch out 🔍.
