Hey sports fans! Olympic champion Sheng Lihao of China lit up the ISSF World Cup in Munich by grabbing the bronze medal in the men’s 10m air rifle event on Thursday. He started off strong, scoring an impressive 635.3 in the qualification round to lead the pack, and then entered a nail-biting final.
In a tense showdown, Russian shooter Ilia Marsov surged ahead to claim gold with a superb 252.3 overall, while Norway's Jon-Hermann Hegg edged his way into the silver slot. Sheng fought hard but ended up with bronze at 230.2 points—a close finish that marks his second World Cup medal this season after his gold win at the Lima leg in April. 🏅
The excitement didn’t stop there! In the women’s 50m rifle 3 positions final, Norwegian Jeanette Hegg Duestad dominated the competition to win gold, with strong showings from Switzerland’s Emely Jaeggi and India’s Sift Kaur Samra. With China leading the overall medal tally with three golds and one bronze, the tournament is turning into an epic display of talent and precision.
