This is Pang Wei's fourth Olympic Games, and he became famous at a young age, winning the Olympic gold medal at the age of 22. However, in the two Olympic Games since then, Pang Weidu, who has high hopes, has not been able to reach the top podium of the Olympic Games. In his own words, it is "the ability cannot control desire."
13 years of years have smoothed out the wild edges and corners of the teenager, the teammates around him have changed stubble by stubble, and he himself has changed from "Xiao Pang" to "Old Pang". For Jiang Ranxin, who has a round of small self and surplus, Pang Wei's title is "big niece".
Jiang Ranxin was only 8 years old when Pang Wei participated in the Olympic Games for the first time and won the gold medal, and 13 years later, the two came to Tokyo as teammates for a common goal - Olympic gold medal.
Although she is a "post-00s", Jiang Ranxin has a calm and open-minded mentality that is not commensurate with her age. In her first tokyo Olympic games, she barely won the championship, but after the game, she still said that she was very happy to stand on the Olympic stage. After winning the championship, she also showed a spoiled side, saying that "the first Olympic Games are more about growing up, there is no more burden."

Speaking of mentality, Pang Wei, who has been accustomed to the ups and downs, is also like a water, after getting the bronze medal of the men's 10-meter air pistol, he came to a sentence of "I didn't take the gold medal, I feel that everything is almost the same."
The 10m air pistol mixed team is another chance for the two bronze medalists and their last chance at this Olympic Games.
Eventually, they got it.
Pang Wei and Jiang Ranxin have been partners since 2019, and although they have not participated in too many international competitions in the past two years, the degree of tacit understanding is gradually improving. Although the team competition is basically "each playing its own", there are still requirements for the cooperation of both sides, only by adapting to the rhythm and style of the other party and finding the most suitable play strategy for both sides, the combination of two people can burst out the maximum energy.
The game on the 27th is like this, when Pang Wei is not playing ideally, Jiang Ranxin will stabilize the situation with a continuous high ring number, and when Jiang Ranxin has a low tide, Pang Wei can stand up in time. "We are psychologically supportive and trusting of each other. Before I fought, I believed that Jiang Ranxin could play well, so I couldn't play too badly. Pang Wei said.

In the audience, Wang Yifu, a Famous Chinese Shooting Star and Vice President of the International Shooting Federation, clenched his fists to cheer for Pang Wei and Jiang Ranxin, and wang Yifu saw all kinds of thrills on the field. After winning the championship, Wang Yifu couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and his voice was slightly hoarse: "Especially in the case of backward in the front, the back can still be turned back, indicating that they have done a good job in their usual training, including impromptu play." Congratulations to them. ”
Wang Yifu watched Pang Wei grow up: "Pang Wei is my student, and Pang Wei's current coach (Lin Zhongzai) is also my student." As a famous player who has participated in 6 Olympic Games and won two Olympic gold medals, Wang Yifu has ardent expectations for Pang Wei.
In Pang Wei's heart, Wang Yifu is a coach and an idol. Is the example: "I sincerely thank Mr. Wang, he has always been my coach in the national team, although this time I was not able to prepare for the Olympics together, but his teaching to me, years of experience, has always supported me on the field." ”

Also supporting Pang Wei is his wife Du Li. During Pang Wei's game, Du Li found a corner of the venue and watched silently. Seeing that Pang Wei won the championship, before waiting for the award ceremony, Du Li ran out again, because her team member Zhang Yu's game was about to start, and at this moment of celebration, the couple could not speak.
Du Li is also under a lot of pressure, she said, now when the coach leads the team to play, it is more stressful than participating in the game herself. On one side is the family, on the other side is the responsibility, and the retired Du Li is busier.
The first time she participated in the Olympic Games, she won a gold and a bronze, and the fledgling Jiang Ranxin became famous in one battle. Xu Bin, director of the Shanghai Municipal Sports Bureau, who watched the battle on the spot, was also very emotional: "Xiao Jiang has won glory for the motherland and Shanghai. As a post-00s, her road is still very long, this competition, this gold medal is just a beginning, I hope she can go further on this road and constantly challenge herself. ”
After the game, Pang Wei and Jiang Ranxin are about to embark on the way home with the large troops. As for how to celebrate winning the gold medal, Jiang Ranxin thought for a moment and replied: "Train." ”
Indeed, after the Olympic Games, the National Games are about to begin. For athletes, the National Games is also a big test.

At the age of 35, he won the Olympic gold medal again, and Pang Wei's future choices have also become the focus of reporters' attention. Pang Wei did not answer this question positively, saying that he wanted to "talk for a while" before talking.
With the "big niece" to win the gold medal, Pang Wei created another milestone in his shooting career, and for Jiang Ranxin, this quite brilliant Olympic journey can be regarded as a personal "opening red".
The future road is long, bless "Lao Pang", look forward to "Little Ginger".
