Precise and skillful rolling, heartbeat impact, gripping situation changes, in the bocce field can always hear the joy of playing laughter and cheering slogans.

On the afternoon of September 17, in the final of the 14th Games Mass Competition Ground Throwing Event, which ended in Xi'an Sports College (Including Guang Campus), Shaanxi's Wang Yang won the gold medal with a score of 38 points, which was the first gold medal for the Shaanxi delegation after the opening ceremony of the 14th Games. Up to now, the Shaanxi representative team of the 14th Games Mass Games has won 1 gold, 1 silver and 1 bronze.

Holding the ball, aiming, running, throwing, the metal ball with a diameter of 10 centimeters and a weight of about one kilogram made a graceful arc in the air and hit the target ball the size of a ping-pong ball 12 meters away. Such an incredible precision strike is one of the ways to hit the bocce ball. In the mass events of the 14th Games, bocce, an old and emerging sport, is also among them. In the view of Gao Wei, a famous host of the domestic bocce project and a professor at the Xi'an Sports Institute, joining the National Games can make the bocce project "fly higher" in the future.

Gao Wei is not only the first world champion in China, but also has trained a number of champions, including Associate Professor Suo Wentao, who is currently teaching at Xi'an Sports Institute, as well as Wang Yang and Zhao Xia. Suo Wentao has won several national championships, is the national record holder for the high metal bocce accurate throwing event, and is currently a coach and player of the national team.
