时隔16年 谢瑜为中国队再夺男子10米气手枪奥运金牌
Xie Yu won the gold medal (奖牌) in the men’s 10m air pistol event at the Paris Olympics on Sunday. This is the second gold won by China in shooting events and third overall at the Paris Olympics, after Chinese teenage shooting pair Huang Yuting and Sheng Lihao won the Games’ first gold medal with victory in the 10m air rifle mixed team event on Saturday.
Xie Yu is 24 years old. He was ranked (排名) sixth after the qualification round (资格赛). _____________ In the final, he had a stable start, ranking third before the elimination stage. He rose to the top after 10 shots as the two leading Italian shooters both made two sub-10 shots in the fifth series. Holding in hand a 0.4-point advantage before the final shot, he scored a 10 while Italy’s Federico Nilo Maldini made only 9.5.
The process was hard, but the result made Xie happy. “I think the key today is I had a clear understanding of myself and managed to make adjustments (调整) quickly when I felt nervous,” he said after winning China’s first Olympic men’s air pistol gold since 2008.
Noting that he didn’t have enough experience in international competitions, Xie said “I didn’t think too much about winning.” “I was giving myself very simple mental cues, ‘just knock one out’,” he added.
