China's Lin Xiyu etched her name in Olympic history on Saturday, securing the bronze medal in women's golf at the Paris Games—a milestone for Chinese golf!
The 28-year-old golfer delivered a clutch final-round performance, finishing with an 11-under total. New Zealand' Lydia Ko snagged gold (15-under), while Germany's Esther Henseleit claimed silver (13-under).
"This medal isn't just mine—it's for everyone who believed in Chinese golf," Lin said, waving to roaring crowds. Her podium finish follows Feng Shanshan's Rio 2016 bronze, proving China's growing dominance in the sport.
Fun fact: Lin is the first athlete from the Chinese mainland to win multiple LPGA Tour events before an Olympic medal. Talk about leveling up!
