The Chinese shooting team is currently conducting closed training in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, in preparation for the 2022 season. In addition to international events, their two most important events in China this year are the National Championship and the Hangzhou Asian Games. This national team training and selection competition, Yang Qian, the double champion who became popular at the Tokyo Olympic Games, has once again become the focus of attention from the outside world. In an interview, she said she was seizing the time to prepare for the war and was most eager to participate in the Asian Games in Hangzhou in September. As a local athlete, Yang Qian's goal is to impact the gold medal in the women's 10-meter air rifle and team events.
At the Tokyo Olympic Games, the Chinese shooting team ushered in a bumper harvest, not only for the Chinese sports delegation to win the first Olympic gold, but also in the 10-meter air rifle mixed team, 10-meter air pistol mixed team and other sports to win the championship, the results far exceeded the last Rio Olympic Games. Earlier, head coach Wang Yifu said that the pressure of the Chinese team in the Paris Olympic cycle is still very large, after the replacement of the old and new, most of the team is young players, need to increase the experience of the competition through international events and hone their mentality. In addition to Yang Qian, Yang Haoran, Jiang Ranxin, Zhang Changhong and others will become the core figures of the Chinese shooting team in the new Olympic cycle.
This season, the key tasks of the Chinese shooting team are the National Championship and the Hangzhou Asian Games, which will be an important assessment object for the national team coaching team to inspect the team members and determine the main lineup of the Paris Olympic Games. As of now, the Chinese shooting team has been held twice in Nanjing, and as the popularity king of the team, Yang Qian's Asian Games points ranking is temporarily ranked third. In this regard, Yang Qian said that she is still relatively satisfied with her performance, and will strive for better results in the future competition, and strive to get tickets for the Hangzhou Asian Games in advance.
Yang Qian is at the peak of her career, and at the 2024 Paris Olympics, she will play as the defending champion of the women's 10m air rifle and the mixed team two individual events. The Chinese shooting team is full of talents in these two events, although it won the championship at the Tokyo Olympic Games, Yang Qian also said that it is necessary to always maintain a good competitive state, otherwise it will be overtaken by young players if it is not careful. In the men's team project, Yang Haoran and Zhang Changhong, two post-00s young players, also received widespread attention in this team selection competition.
Yang Haoran regrettably lost the gold medal in the men's 10-meter air rifle at the Tokyo Olympics, and two years later at the Paris Olympics, the talented teenager with the "shooting prodigy" is looking forward to making up for the regrets of the project and completing the real Grand Slam. Zhang Changhong, a young player who studied under Olympic champion Du Li, is also expected to set a new career high at the Hangzhou Asian Games. The Chinese shooting team has returned to the top of the world, and it is inseparable from the Russian team and the United States team. In the upcoming 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, can this champion master hit 10 gold medals?
