Paris 2024 Shooting: All results, as Li Yuehong takes long-awaited 25m rapid fire pistol men's gold
The final day of shooting events saw more glory for the People's Republic of China as double world champion and world record holder Li Yuehong won gold in the men's 25m rapid-fire pistol event.
Cho Yeongjae of the Republic of Korea took silver, while a shoot-off for third place ended with bronze for Wang Xinjie from the People's Republic of China.
The final rounds at the Chateauroux Shooting Centre were a masterclass of precision and composure. Li, leading the pack, left no room for doubt with a flawless 5-for-5 performance in the decisive shoot-off. He eventually finished seven points ahead of Yeongjae, who claimed silver. Both medals were the first for their nations in this event.
Victory was particularly sweet for 34-year-old Li, who had previously won bronze at both Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020.
“This has been an incredible experience for me and all my hard work has paid off,” Li said. "If you want to be a good shooter you need to be morally good and a good person. We aim for and train for that."
