Earlier this month in Doha, the ISSF World Cup Final — the season's grand finale that invites the top-ranked shooters from around the world — wrapped up with a bang as competitors from the Chinese mainland delivered a stellar performance to top the medal table. The standout hero was 21-year-old Olympic bronze medalist Jiang Yiting, who soared to victory in the women's skeet event with a flawless 36/36 run. 🎯
In qualification, Jiang hit 123 out of 125 targets, matching her own junior world record and leading the pack into the final. In the showdown, she kept the momentum going, landing every shot to clinch the gold medal.
In a thrilling duel, Jiang outgunned defending champion and world titleholder Samantha Simonton of the United States, who earned silver with 34 hits. Emmanouela Katzouraki of Greece claimed bronze, while Chinese mainland competitor Che Yufei finished fourth.
By the end of the finals, the Chinese mainland had secured four gold medals, two silvers, and three bronzes, cementing its status as a powerhouse in shooting sports. 🌟
For young sports fans and aspiring shooters, Jiang's achievement is a reminder of how precision, focus, and consistency can lead to historic results. Stay tuned for more exciting action as the season continues! 🚀✨
