China's rising star Hu Kai just added another shiny medal to his collection! The 23-year-old sharpshooter dominated the men's 10m air pistol event at the ISSF World Cup in Lima, Peru, scoring 246.4 points and leaving Brazilian competitor Felipe Almeida Wu 5.4 points behind. Talk about precision under pressure!
Hu, fresh off a victory at the Buenos Aires season opener on his birthday earlier this month, led the finals from the start with a blazing 102.3-point performance in the first 10 rounds. Paris Olympics gold medalist Xie Yu also made the finals but finished fifth — proving this rookie is now a force to watch.
