Early this morning, the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics was held grandly on the banks of the Seine.

All events were in full swing on the first day of competition. A total of 7 gold medals will be awarded in shooting, diving, road cycling, judo, skateboarding and other major events. Among them, the most watched is the 10-meter air rifle mixed team final.

In previous Olympic Games, from Xu Haifeng to Du Li, and then to Yi Siling and Yang Qian, the Chinese shooting team has won the first gold medal for the Chinese sports delegation four times. Judging from the time, the first gold medal of this Paris Olympics is also likely to come in the 10m air rifle mixed team final. Two Zhejiang girls Huang Yuting and Han Jiayu will respectively compete with their partners Sheng Lihao and Du Linshu to win the first gold medal.

Zhejiang duo to strive for first Olympic gold medal

Huang Yuting

The Strongest Female High School Student on Earth

Huang Yuting, who is not yet 18 years old and is still a senior high school student at the beginning of the school year, has already taken on the important task of becoming the leader of the Chinese women's air rifle team.

In 2022, Huang Yuting made her mark in international competitions.At last year's Hangzhou Asian Games, Huang Yuting became the "triple champion" in one fell swoop.

However, Huang Yuting failed to enter the finals in the women's 10m air rifle event at the ISSF World Cup in Baku this year, which was an upset.He then reached the top of the German race and won the championship with a last-gasp goal.This undoubtedly gave her great confidence.

In the Paris Olympics, the Taizhou girl, who participated in the Olympics for the first time, competed in both the 10m air rifle women's individual and mixed team events. Her partner Sheng Lihao is the silver medalist in the men's 10m air rifle at the Tokyo Olympics, and has maintained a good form in recent years. This time, he also competed in both the 10m air rifle men's individual and mixed team events.

Huang Yuting/Sheng Lihao have been partnering in the 10m air rifle mixed team event during the Paris Olympic cycle, and have won the highest podium in the World Cup, World Championships, Asian Games and other major competitions. If they can maintain their current momentum, they are likely to win the first gold medal for the Chinese delegation in this Olympics.

Huang Yuting, who is not yet 18 years old, is still a senior high school student at the beginning of the school year.

Han Jiayu

A cute sharpshooter wearing glasses

She has a round face, wears a pair of dark-framed glasses, and smiles sweetly. Han Jiayu is calm and composed on the field, and when she takes off her competition uniform, she is a real cute girl.

Han Jiayu, 23, was born in an ordinary family in Meishan Town, Changxing County, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province. He developed a strong interest in shooting since he was a child.In 2013, he joined the Huzhou City Shooting Team. In 2018, Han Jiayu was successfully selected for the Zhejiang Province Shooting Team and began more professional and systematic training. In 2021, he joined the National Shooting Team and stepped onto a bigger stage.

Han Jiayu, who only started participating in international competitions last year, has made rapid progress, winning the women's air rifle individual gold medal in the World Cup and World Championships. At the Hangzhou Asian Games, she and her teammates won the women's 10-meter air rifle team gold medal and broke the Asian record. She then won the women's 50-meter rifle three-position team gold medal, reaping a lot of rewards.

In the 10m air rifle mixed team competition held at the ISSF World Cup in Munich, Germany in June this year, Han Jiayu and her partner Du Linshu won the bronze medal, showing world-class strength. The pair will also be aiming for their first gold medal at the Paris Olympics.

Han Jiayu joined the national shooting team in 2021

In an interview recently, Xu Haifeng, China's first Olympic gold medalist, said that the Chinese shooting team has a greater chance of winning the gold medal.

Olympic Science

Gold medal match "grab 16"

The 10-meter air rifle mixed team competition debuted at the Tokyo Olympics. Each team consists of one male and one female player, using air rifles to shoot at targets within a distance of 10 meters. During the competition, each player needs to perform a series of shots, with a total of 30 bullets. The first stage is the qualifying stage. Men and women need to complete 30 shots within 30 minutes each, and the scores of the two are added together for ranking. In the end, the top two teams enter the gold medal competition.

The gold medal match is decided by a "game of 16" format. The number of rings in each round is rounded to one decimal place. The team with the higher sum of the numbers of the two players in the team gets 2 points, and a tie gets 1 point each. The first team to get 16 points or more wins the match.

Paris Olympics highlights on the 27th

Huang Yuting, Sheng Lihao, Du Linshu, Han Jiayu, four young people from the Chinese shooting team born after 2000, will compete for the first gold medal at the Paris Olympics on the 27th., shouldering the heavy responsibility of winning the gold medal for the Chinese team.

The first gold medal of the Paris Olympics will most likely be won in the 10m air rifle mixed team event. The two pairs representing the Chinese team are Huang Yuting/Sheng Lihao and Han Jiayu/Du Linshu. Among the four, only Sheng Lihao has Olympic experience. He won the silver medal in the men's 10m air rifle at the Tokyo Olympics. Three years later, Sheng Lihao has become more mature. Although his mixed team partner Huang Yuting is young, she is extremely calm on the field. The two have won many championships in major competitions such as the World Championships and the Asian Games.

With the "double insurance" of Huang Yuting/Sheng Lihao and Han Jiayu/Du Linshu, the Chinese team is the biggest favorite to win the first gold medal.The International Shooting Federation predicts that although Yang Qian/Yang Haoran, who won the Tokyo Olympics Chinese team, will both miss Paris, given Huang Yuting/Sheng Lihao's recent achievements, they are still the strongest contenders for the first gold medal, while teams such as India, South Korea, Norway and the United States will be strong opponents of the Chinese combination.

The Chinese diving team will start its journey to win gold medals on the 27th.The first to appear on the stage are Chen Yiwen and Chang Yani, who have never lost the gold medal when they compete in the doubles event. In the women's double three-meter springboard competition on the 27th, the two are likely to make a good start for the "Dream Team".
