On the 16th, Xi'an Changning Ecological Sports Training and Competition Base changed the clear sky of the past, and the breeze under the clouds was changed.

The wind blew through the rows of flags of the 14th National Games outside the venue, playing a whistling "movement"; blowing into the shooting venue, bringing the coolness of autumn; and also blowing away the long-accumulated "haze" in the heart of Rio Olympic champion Zhang Mengxue.

On the 16th, the shooting event of the 14th National Games entered the fourth competition day. The 10m air pistol mixed team arena attracted special attention because of the competition of four Olympic champions.

However, like the star-studded women's 10m air pistol race the day before, the expected peak duel was finally lost.

After the National Games, Pang Wei, who retired, and his partner Jiang Ranxin regrettably stopped the first stage of qualifying. The "hasty" exit of the Tokyo Olympic champion group and the farewell of the 35-year-old veteran who did not have time to say "goodbye" added coolness to the national sports shooting field after the rain.

Coincidentally, the two-time women's 10m air pistol Olympic champion and home shooting star Guo Wenjun and partner Huang Junzhi with the same 572 rings, regrettably stopped.

The crowd of media finally set their sights on Zhang Mengxue, the Olympic champion who shot away the Chinese delegation and the Chinese people at the Rio Olympics five years ago.

However, Tokyo's Asaka Stadium could not wait for the former king of the women's 10m air pistol competition. In the new Olympic cycle, the national rifle and pistol shooting teams are full of talents, and Jiang Ranxin and Lin Yuemei performed eye-catching in the women's 10-meter air pistol selection competition, and finally Zhang Mengxue regrettably failed.

Some people say that 30-year-old Zhang Mengxue is "a veteran who will be late". When she ranked 18th in the women's 10m air pistol qualification tournament at the National Games and missed the final, the sound of singing was even more "loud".

However, today's 10-meter air pistol arena is destined to belong to Zhang Mengxue and her partner Zhang Bowen.

In the first stage of the 10-meter air pistol mixed team qualifier in the morning, Zhang Mengxue and Zhang Bowen ranked third with a score of 578 rings and successfully advanced; in the second stage of the subsequent competition, the two continued to play bravery and played 385 rings to advance to the final.

In the gold medal battle, Zhang Mengxue and his teammates went through several twists and turns, and finally won the 10-meter air pistol mixed team championship as desired, and the two also stood on the highest podium of the National Games for the first time.

"The National Games are held every four years, I am very active in preparation, it is very difficult to win the championship at the National Games, I am very happy." After the game, Zhang Mengxue bluntly said that the national competition was too difficult to play, "I think it is better to let me go back to the Olympic Games."

However, Zhang Mengxue, who has gone through several ups and downs, does not agree with the label of "silence" given by the reporter, saying that in the past long preparation cycle, she had a rock-solid belief in her heart, that is, "do yourself well".

After the game, Zhang Mengxue's national team teammate and Tokyo Olympic 10m air pistol mixed team champion Jiang Ranxin also came to the interview area to congratulate her good friend on winning the championship in a hug way. Zhang Mengxue said that the two had a very good personal relationship, and would jokingly call Jiang Ranxin "son" in private.

Perhaps, only close and intimate friends can understand the precious taste of victory at this moment, and can also send the most heartfelt comfort when the other party is frustrated.

"After all, she is young, and now there are ups and downs normal, I just advised her, it is impossible to play well every time, there is no need to be too demanding of herself, give yourself a little buffer (leeway)." After the game, Zhang Mengxue comforted Jiang Ranxin, as if to say it to his past self.

A long-awaited gold medal at the National Games may become a new starting point for Zhang Mengxue's career. However, she said that every game, regardless of the outcome of the game, she must put it down and start over, "There are still games next, and I will continue to fight." ”

Start again, only because I don't forget my original intention, and as Zhang Mengxue said, "Shooting is a lifelong career for me, and I don't regret that I chose this road in the first place." (End)
