What a weekend at the 15th National Games of China in Guangdong Province! Zhejiang’s rising star Han Jiayu pulled off a jaw-dropping comeback to claim gold in the women’s 10m air rifle 🏆✨. Down by 0.1 point before her last shot, she held her nerve and fired a perfect 10.6, edging out Jiangsu’s Yan Jinjing (9.8) for a winning total of 252.7.
The finals lineup was stacked with talent: Olympic champ Huang Yuting, 2023 world champ Han, and world-record holder Wang Zifei. After Huang bowed out early and Wang hit two 9.9s, Han stayed focused, overtook Liaoning’s Du Yuchen, and faced Yan in a nail-biter. Talk about clutch performance! 🎯
Meanwhile, in the men’s 25m rapid fire pistol, Jiangxi’s Wang Shiwen battled through a second technical glitch to finish bronze with 27 hits. The gold match saw Fujian’s Su Lianbofan and Shaanxi’s He Shiyu each nail 35 hits, forcing a shoot-off. Su edged He 4-3 in hits to grab the top spot in dramatic fashion. 🔥
For gamers in SEA, this felt like securing a royale win in Free Fire; for movie buffs, a K-drama twist you can’t skip. No matter how you follow it—on your phone, tablet, or just cheering from home—these shooters brought epic drama and major inspiration! 🙌
