Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, May 11 (Reporter Lin Deren, Wang Meng) The 2024 International Shooting Federation Shooting World Cup ended in Baku, Azerbaijan on the 11th. In the final men's 50 meter rifle three position event, Chinese player Liu Yukun won the championship with 468.9 points in the final, breaking the world record for the final of the event he just set two days ago.
Since some of the previous World Cup sub events could not be held due to limited conditions, two competitions were held in the event, including the three positions of the 50m rifle and the quick fire of the men's 25m pistol. The first competition of men's 50m rifle with three positions ended two days ago. Liu Yukun won the championship and broke the world record with a final result of 467.3 points.
In the second match on the 11th, Liu Yukun continued his heroism and established a clear advantage of 4.2 points after the end of the recumbent and kneeling positions in the final. In the last standing posture, Liu Yukun played a high number of links in a row, expanding his leading edge, and finally won the championship by breaking the world record again. The championship result of 468.9 points is 5.7 points higher than that of Austria's Schmir, who ranked second. This is also Liu Yukun's second gold medal in the World Cup.
On the same day, the second match of the men's 25 meter pistol rapid fire was a strong dialogue. Li Yuehong, a veteran of the Chinese team, won the championship by defeating his old opponent, the famous French team player Besagai.
In the previous competition, Sheng Lihao won the men's 10m air rifle championship, and he also partnered with Huang Yuting to win the 10m air rifle mixed team gold medal. Xie Yu won the men's 10m air pistol event, and Lv Jianlin won the men's flying saucer two-way event.
At this World Cup, the Chinese shooting team came into full bloom and won 7 gold medals, 7 silver medals and 5 bronze medals in 19 competitions, leading the medal list with absolute advantage. South Korea ranked second with 3 gold, 2 silver and 2 bronze. The other nine gold medals were divided by nine different teams.
After the end of the World Cup, the Chinese shooting team will start a round of intensive training, and later will participate in other sub events of the Shooting World Cup to warm up for the Paris Olympic Games. (End)
