🎯 Liu Yukun from China just did the unthinkable—twice! At the ISSF World Cup in Baku, this sharpshooter broke the men's 50m rifle 3 positions world record two days in a row. Talk about being on fire! 🔥
On Thursday, Liu smashed the existing record by racking up an impressive 467.3 points, clinching the gold. You'd think that was enough, right? Nope! Just two days later, he upped his own game, boosting the record to an astounding 468.9 points. That's over 10.4 points per shot on average! 🎯💯
Saturday's competition was practically the Liu Yukun Show. In the kneeling position, he nailed 156.6 points after the first 15 shots, already 2.3 points ahead of his closest competitor, Miran Maricic from Croatia. By the time he finished the prone shots, Liu had amassed 315.1 points, extending his lead to 4.2 points. 😲
Even a minor hiccup—a 9.5 on his second-to-last standing shot—couldn't stop him. He secured the gold and pushed his own world record even higher. Talk about keeping your cool under pressure! 🥇
With Liu’s stellar performance, China topped the medal tally at the ISSF World Cup, bagging seven golds. Way to represent! 🇨🇳✨
This is the kind of inspiration we love to see. Liu Yukun is proving that with determination and a steady aim, you can literally hit new heights—even twice in two days! 🏆🎉
