China’s sharpshooters left the world in awe at the ISSF World Cup in Baku this week, clinching seven gold medals and smashing records like it’s a Netflix binge session! 🎯 The spotlight burned brightest on 27-year-old Liu Yukun, who redefined precision by breaking the men’s 50m rifle 3 positions world record twice in two days. Talk about flexing those focus muscles! 💪
Liu first shattered the record on Thursday with a staggering 467.3 points, then outdid himself Saturday by hitting 468.9 points—averaging over 10.4 points per shot. His final performance? Pure dominance. Despite a slight wobble in the penultimate standing shot, Liu’s earlier leads in kneeling and prone positions sealed his victory. Croatia’s Miran Maricic trailed by 4.2 points, basically watching Liu’s victory lap from the sidelines. 🥇
This medal rush cements China’s status as a global shooting powerhouse. For young sports fans and aspiring Olympians, Liu’s story is pure inspiration fuel. 🌟 Who’s ready for Paris 2024? 🚀
