During the recording of the program, I asked Yang Qian: "When you were a child, did you think that you could become an Olympic champion one day?" ”
She smiled slightly shyly, "Never thought about it." It feels lucky and magical, and maybe that's my fate with shooting. At the Tokyo Olympics, Yang Qian won the gold medal in the shooting women's 10m air rifle event and the gold medal in the shooting 10m air rifle mixed team.

"As an athlete, especially a shooter, you must be able to withstand loneliness, because every time you aim and shoot, you are fighting with yourself, and you must have a strong heart in the face of competition and success or failure." Yang Qian shared the shooting heart.
Usually, Yang Qian likes to tie a high ponytail, like a cute sister next door. When participating in the recording of the program, Yang Qian deliberately wore the costume she wore when she received the award at the Tokyo Olympic Games, which was restrained and capable, and her expression was calm and did not make waves.
In 2021, Yang Qian participated in the Olympic Games for the first time for her country.
Recalling the past summer, she said that shooters should pursue an extreme calm, and small waves in the heart may directly lead to a huge deviation in the ring value. After the victory of the first battle, Yang Qian forced herself to calm down and concentrate on preparing for the next mixed group game.
Yang Qian recalled that before the game, she had been adjusting her mentality, giving herself positive psychological hints, recalling every firing procedure action in her mind, and trying to maintain a stable and calm state.
After the game, some people commented that Yang Qian had excellent quality in her heart and could not see the slightest sense of tension. 'Although some people think that I play the game very calmly, the fact is that I am still nervous at the crucial moments of the game, and the right tension allows me to focus more on the course of the game." Yang Qian said.
The women's 10-meter air rifle has been the first gold project of the Chinese Olympic team in the past 9 Olympic Games, and Yang Qian is very aware of the task she has undertaken. "The Olympic women's 10m air rifle was still in a backward position in the last shot of the individual final, when the heart beat faster, but I couldn't think too much, I could only try my best to do my best."
Shooting for Yang Qian, began with curiosity, and then became love and responsibility.
"The first contact shooting was at the 'balloon playing' stall near my house, and there was a game of giving dolls when the balloon was hit with a gun, and I thought it was very fun, and the moment I smashed the balloon was very enjoyable."
"At first, my parents were worried that it was too hard to let me practice sports, but at my insistence, they finally respected my choice." Yang Qian was selected to join the shooting team and began to train while studying. Raise a gun, hold your breath, aim, fire... A game down, constantly challenging the peak of the sports career.

In 2018, Yang Qian was admitted to Tsinghua University as a student athlete due to her outstanding sports and cultural achievements. In 2019, Yang Qian entered the national team with her outstanding performance at the second National Youth Games, and finally stood on the highest podium of the Olympic Games.
As the Countdown to the Winter Olympics entered, I asked Yang Qian which Winter Olympics project she was most interested in? She replied that it was a biathlon, "It's a sport that combines cross-country skiing and shooting, except that we shoot standing, and they're skiing and shooting." ”
I asked her if she wanted to try the sport? Yang Qian smiled and said, "Still not, in case the slip is not good and injured, it is not good for my own project." As soon as the words stopped, we all laughed.
After winning the gold medal at the Olympics, Yang Qian received a lot of attention, but for her, everything was zero after the end of the game.
"I started a busy campus life, and during the preparation for the Olympic Games and the National Games, I left some classes behind, and now I have to make up for the previous courses." In her view, learning is something that needs to be practiced for life.

Many netizens said that Yang Qian took advantage of the summer vacation to get the Olympic champion, and some netizens called Yang Qian a "student bully", but she said: "In fact, we do not have winter and summer vacations, others put winter and summer vacations, we are still learning and training, under the heavy academic pressure to do a more reasonable daily planning." ”
When asked what her future plans are, Yang Qian said: "Do a good job in study and training, do your job well, live up to your love, walk non-stop, and rush to every appointment with shooting and the motherland." ”
At the end of the recording of the program, Yang Qian expressed her blessings to the small partners participating in the Winter Olympics: "I hope that the athletes can play their due level, throw away their baggage, and go light." Strive for the highest goal and honor, and strive for more honor for the motherland and for yourself. ”
