China’s Qi Ying and Zhang Zixi Make History at Shooting World Cup! 🥇

Guess what? China’s Qi Ying and Zhang Zixi just did something amazing! They won China’s first-ever mixed team trap gold medal at the ISSF World Cup in Nicosia, Cyprus! 🌟

Qi Ying, who won a silver medal at the Olympics, teamed up with 19-year-old Zhang Zixi for this exciting event. Even though Qi didn’t make it to the men’s trap final, he didn’t give up! Together, they formed a super team. 💪

They started by qualifying in second place, just behind Poland’s Tomasz Pasierbski and Sandra Bernal. Then, they faced a tough match against Türkiye’s Tolga Tuncer and Rumeysa Pelin Kaya. It was so close, they even had to have a shootoff! 🔫

In the final, both teams were neck and neck. Poland took the lead when Pasierbski hit a perfect round. But Qi Ying fired back with his own perfect round, putting China ahead 40-34! 😲

In the end, Qi and Zhang held on tight and won the gold medal with a score of 42-39! They made their country proud and brought home the championship! 🏆🇨🇳

Isn’t that inspiring? It shows that teamwork and never giving up can lead to great things! Maybe one day, you could be a champion too! 😊
