The women's 10m air rifle event of the Tokyo Olympic Games began on the 24th, which was also the first gold medal produced by the Tokyo Olympic Games. The Chinese shooting team sent two young players to compete, Yang Qian in 2000 and Wang Luyao in 1998. The two youngsters will be the first and second athletes to be selected for the Olympics, but they have participated in very few international events before. Leading the two athletes is coach Du Li, who won her first gold medal at the 2004 Athens Olympics, a gold medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and a silver and bronze medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics. Du Li said in an interview before the game that playing shoujin has become accustomed to it, but it is not easy for players like Yang Qian and Wang Luyao to participate in the Olympic Games for the first time.
Du Li once shot the first Olympic gold in 2004, and she became famous in one battle. In 2008, Du Li also shouldered the responsibility of shooting the first gold, but due to excessive pressure, she failed to achieve her wish. At the 2016 Rio Olympics, Du Li returned to the shooting team after returning to the shooting team, and once again went to the Olympic gold with Yi Siling, but she was only one step away from the target. Du li transitioned to coaching after the Rio Olympics, and she hopes to pass on her experience to more athletes in the program. "For me, shoujin has become accustomed to it." Du Li said, "For athletes, maybe when I pass it on to them, it is easier to say, but when they actually do it, it will be difficult, which is also a process of self-victory." ”
Yang Qian
Yang Qian and Wang Luyao brought by Du Li this time are both newcomers, very young, and have less experience in the competition. Although the results in domestic competitions are stable and the level is very high, no one can pack tickets for how to play in a major competition such as the Olympic Games. Du Li said: "We still need to watch the impromptu play, I hope they can play at a normal level." ”
