Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, May 11 (Reporter Lin Deren, Wang Meng) The 2024 International Shooting Federation Shooting World Cup in Baku, Azerbaijan ended on the 11th, and in the men's 50-meter rifle three-position event that was finally completed, Chinese player Liu Yukun won the final with a score of 468.9 rings, refreshing the world record in the final of the event that he just set two days ago.
Due to the fact that some events in the previous World Cup could not be held due to conditions, two competitions were held in the 50-meter rifle three positions and the men's 25-meter rapid fire pistol in this event. The first match of the men's 50m rifle 3 positions ended two days ago, with Liu Yukun winning the final with a final score of 467.3 rings and breaking the world record.
In the second competition on the 11th, Liu Yukun continued to be brave, and established a clear advantage of 4.2 rings after the two finals of lying and kneeling. In the last stance, Liu Yukun continued to hit high rings, and his lead continued to expand, and finally won the championship with another world record. The 468.9 rings won the championship 5.7 rings higher than the second-placed Austrian Schmeer. This is also Liu Yukun's second gold medal in this World Cup.
On the same day, the second match of the men's 25m rapid-fire pistol was staged. Li Yuehong, a veteran of the Chinese team, defeated his old rival and France's famous Besague, and won the championship.
In the previous competition, Sheng Lihao won the men's 10-meter air rifle championship, and he and Huang Yuting also partnered to win the 10-meter air rifle mixed team gold medal. Xie Yu won the men's 10m air pistol event, and Lu Jianlin won the men's skeet two-way event.
In this World Cup, the Chinese shooting team is in full bloom, winning 7 golds, 7 silvers and 5 bronzes in a total of 19 competitions, leading the medal table with an absolute advantage. South Korea finished second with 3 golds, 2 silvers and 2 bronzes. The remaining 9 gold medals were divided between 9 different teams.
After the end of the World Cup, the Chinese shooting team will start a round of training, and will participate in other sub-competitions of the Shooting World Cup in the future to warm up for the Paris Olympics.
