China’s rifle and pistol team, fresh off their Tokyo 2020 dominance, just unveiled their roster for Paris 2024—and it’s got everyone talking . After intense national trials, the squad mixes Olympic legends with bold new talent, ready to chase glory this summer!
Tokyo’s golden quartet (plus silver and bronze medals) set the bar high. Now, 34-year-old Li Yuehong, a two-time Olympic bronze medalist and world champ in men’s 25m rapid fire pistol, leads as the team’s veteran. Meanwhile, 17-year-old Liang Xiaoya, a first-time Olympian in women’s 25m pistol, reps Gen Z ambition. Talk about a mentorship vibe!
With 10 shooters total, the team blends precision and pressure-cooker experience. Will Paris see another medal avalanche? Fans are already placing bets. Spoiler: China’s sharpshooters never miss the mark.
