On March 23, the fourth final team selection of the National Shooting (Rifle Pistol) Project in Tokyo was held at the Huangcun Sports Training Base in Guangdong Province. The Women's 10m Air Pistol and Men's 10m Air Rifle Olympic Rosters were released, and Zhang Mengxue, who won the first gold for the Chinese delegation at the 2016 Rio Olympics, was not selected.
Zhang Mengxue
The Olympic selection of the shooting team is divided into four stations, and the players pass the total points ranking of the four stations to produce the final Olympic list. This week's Guangdong race is the last leg.
In the competition for the women's 10-meter air pistol, Shanghai's post-00s youngster Jiang Ranxin won the station again and locked in the first place; Lin Yuemei of Fujian ranked fourth in this station, retaining the second place in the overall ranking. The Tokyo Olympics will be their first olympic participation.
And the famous Zhang Mengxue was not selected. On August 7, 2016, in the final of the women's 10m air pistol at the Rio Olympic Games, Zhang Mengxue set an Olympic record with a total score of 199.4 rings, winning the first gold medal of the Chinese sports delegation at the Olympic Games. At that time, Zhang Mengxue's unsmiling and focused look left a deep impression on people.
In fact, in the Tokyo Olympic cycle, Zhang Mengxue was in good shape. Last year's National Shooting Championships, she won the women's 10m air pistol competition; last year's national team assessment, she also ranked first in the project. Unfortunately, she did not seize the opportunity in the tokyo Olympics trials.
Sheng Lihao
In the men's 10m air rifle event, the famous Yang Haoran and the 16-year-old Sheng Lihao qualified for the Olympic Games. In front of the many masters of the shooting team, Sheng Lihao is like a blank piece of paper, he chased all the way from 0 points to get the ticket to the Tokyo Olympics, which can be called a big dark horse. In addition, in the selection of the 10-meter air rifle mixed team competition of the new Olympic project, Sheng Lihao also has a great chance to be selected.
After the competition on the 22nd, the Olympic qualification for the men's 10m air pistol event belongs to Pang Wei and Zhang Bowen, and the veteran Pang Wei will participate in the Olympic Games for the fourth time. In the women's 10m air rifle event, Yang Qian and Wang Luyao qualified for the Olympic Games.
