Chinese gunmen never miss their shots
On the first day of the shooting competition of the Jakarta Asian Games, two new events were held: the mixed group 10m air rifle and the mixed group 10m air pistol. This is the first time that the shooting mixed team competition has appeared in a large intercontinental sports event. The two pairs of Chinese teams have achieved one gold and one silver. For this new way of competition, the shooting team is still exploring the rules and adjusting the gun's target.
The International Shooting Federation has promoted project reform since last year and started to set up mixed team projects, which is in response to the policy of "increasing the proportion of female athletes and promoting gender equality" proposed by the International Olympic Committee. Last September, the Executive Board of the International Olympic Committee approved the project settings for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.
