Chinese shooters blasted their way into Olympic history on Monday, wrapping up the Paris 2024 Games with a jaw-dropping medal haul. The team’s final day saw veteran Li Yuehong clinch gold in the 25-meter rapid fire pistol event, outscoring South Korea’s Cho Yeong-jae in a nail-biting showdown. Teammate Wang Xinjie bagged bronze in the same event, while Jiang Yiting and Lyu Jianlin added another bronze in skeet mixed team competitions.
The squad’s total tally? A record-breaking 5 golds, 2 silvers, and 3 bronzes – their best Olympic performance ever. Talk about hitting the bullseye!
\"Every shot felt like rewriting history,\" Li told reporters post-victory, his gold medal gleaming under the Parisian lights. The achievement solidifies China’s dominance in precision sports, with Gen Z athletes like 21-year-old Wang Xinjie proving age is just a number when it comes to Olympic glory.
