In the bright starry sky of Chinese sports, the Chinese shooting team is undoubtedly one of the most dazzling stars. Since its establishment in the 1960s, this team has written one legend after another in the world of shooting with its outstanding performance and unremitting efforts. From the first gold medal breakthrough in the Los Angeles Olympics, to the brilliant performance in the Beijing Olympics, to the great achievements in the Paris Olympics, the Chinese shooting team has always won countless honors for China's sports cause with its superb skills and tenacious spirit.

In 1984, at the 23rd Los Angeles Olympic Games, the Chinese shooting team ushered in a historic moment. Xu Haifeng won the gold medal with 566 points in the men's free pistol slow-fire competition, breaking China's "zero" Olympic gold medal record. This gold medal is not only the glory of the Chinese shooting team, but also a milestone in the entire history of Chinese sports. It marks that the Chinese shooting team has officially joined the ranks of the world's strong teams, and also builds confidence for Chinese athletes in international competitions.

In 2008, the Beijing Olympic Games were held in China, and the Chinese shooting team ushered in unprecedented glory. In this Olympic Games, the Chinese shooting team won a total of 5 gold medals, 2 silver medals and 1 bronze medal, creating the best record in history. Among them, Du Li shot the first gold medal for the Chinese delegation in the women's 10-meter air rifle event, and Wang Yifu won the gold medal in the men's 10-meter air pistol in his fourth Olympic journey with a record-breaking performance. In addition, the rise of young players such as Pang Wei, Guo Wenjun and Chen Ying has also injected new vitality into the Chinese shooting team.

Although the Chinese shooting team encountered a low point at the 2016 Rio Olympics, winning only 1 gold, 2 silvers and 4 bronze medals, the team members were not discouraged. They summed up their experience, adjusted their status and made full preparations for the next competition. At the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, the Chinese shooting team once again demonstrated its strong strength. Yang Qian won the first gold medal in the women's 10-meter air rifle event and partnered with Yang Haoran to win the 10-meter air rifle mixed team gold medal. In addition, young players such as Sheng Lihao and Zhang Changhong also performed well and won multiple medals for the Chinese shooting team.

Entering the Paris Olympic cycle, the Chinese shooting team welcomed more young faces. These young players not only have superb skills, but also have strong psychological qualities. They can withstand pressure at critical moments and win more honors for the Chinese shooting team. In the Paris Olympics, the Chinese shooting team won a total of 5 gold medals, 2 silver medals and 3 bronze medals. The number of gold medals tied the highest record of the Beijing Olympics, and the number of medals exceeded the Beijing Olympics. Among them, young players such as Huang Yuting and Sheng Lihao performed well in the air rifle mixed team and men's 10-meter air rifle events, winning precious gold medals for the Chinese shooting team.

 

The brilliant achievements of the Chinese shooting team were not achieved overnight, but the result of the hard work and unremitting efforts of the team members over the years. On the training ground, they repeated boring movements day after day, constantly challenging their own limits. In the competition, they overcame difficulties one after another with a high degree of concentration and tenacious will. It is this love and persistent pursuit of the shooting career that makes the Chinese shooting team shine brightly on the world stage.
