　　“I’m nicknamed Yang Damian on Weibo because I’m a more optimistic girl. I make friends in life, get along with people, and be more cheerful.”

　　Stepping down the shooting arena and earning the first gold in the Olympics, Yang Qian, who was cold and calm throughout the whole process, showed her cute side.

　　Not only that.

When she was on the podium and the whole audience stood up and raised the national flag to play the national anthem, Yang Qian bent her arms and made a lovely gesture of "comparing the heart" towards the stands, advancing hundreds of millions of viewers in front of TV and on the Internet.

　　Yang Qian was born in Zhejiang in 2000, and she became interested in shooting since she was very young.

At the age of 11, she was recognized by coach Yu Lihua and she was selected into the shooting team of Ningbo Sports School from Maoshan Primary School.

Just a year later, she won the runner-up in the National Youth Shooting Championship.

　　Yu Lihua’s explanation is that “Yang Qian’s greatest advantage is to have a'big heart'”, “Her balance, coordination and stability are all good, but the eyes that touch me the most are the watery eyes. It looks very aura."

　　Under the guidance of a famous teacher, Yang Qian has performed well in the Provincial Games, the National Youth Games and other competitions, and was selected for the National Youth Olympic Team.

In 2019, Yang Qian entered the national team.

　　Due to the impact of the epidemic, she has rarely represented the country in international competitions in the past year and has accidentally become the "secret weapon" of the Chinese shooting team.

In the international rankings, she only ranks 81st. In the official Olympic Games predictions, she also completely ignores this "unknown junior".

　　However, everyone who knows Yang Qian knows that she is not so inconspicuous on the field.

In the four Olympic trials of the Chinese shooting team, she won all first place.

In February this year, in a competition, she even hit 253.1 rings, surpassing the world record.

　　The arena is like a battlefield.

It is self-evident that the competition for the first gold in the Olympics on July 24, Europe, the United States and India and other powers are all around.

In the qualifying round, Yang Qian played 628.7 rings and ranked sixth and entered the final.

In the middle, she didn't play well. She stopped to give herself positive psychological hints, encouraged to say that she was okay, and then put aside distracting thoughts into the action flow.

　　Yang Qian, who entered the finals, began to play not stable enough. She was able to score a top score of 10.9 points and a "low score" of 10.0 points.

However, after adjusting, she once again scored 10.8 and 10.9 high points. Before the final serve, she was only 0.1 points behind the first player.

　　Perhaps affected by the tenacity and calmness of the "big heart" Yang Qian, the opponent shot first in the last round, but only shot 8.9.

However, Yang Qian did not notice the opponent's mistakes and ended the suspense of the champion with a 9.8 ring.

Her 251.8 ring result also created a new Olympic final record.

　　"Today's performance is generally normal, and the training state is basically within this range." However, Yang Qian also admitted that she was very nervous at the time: "I let myself concentrate on the action and try my best to control my mood."

　　"I think the previous efforts have paid off, and I have gained a lot. I am very happy and excited to win this gold medal."

　　Faced with reporters from various countries at the press conference after the game, Yang Qian said: "This gold medal makes me very proud and happy. It is also the best gift for the centenary of the founding of the party this year." After the press conference, This sentence was included in the original Olympic information system.

　　Although she has completed a "small goal", Yang Qian has another hard task next: to participate in a 10-meter air rifle mixed team competition.

Yang Qian hopes to hit her second gold medal with her teammates.

　　"The following 10-meter air rifle mixed team competition I still have to work harder into training." She said, "I can't relax my vigilance just because of the short victory. I still have to continue to work hard and do a good job for the next competition. Prepare."

　　When he walked off the field, the cold gunner turned back into the gluttonous little girl in his mother's eyes.

"As long as my mother makes it, I like to eat it. After all, it tastes like home." She also ordered a dish from time to time: I want to eat braised prawns!

　　Yang Qian in life can be said to be excellent in character and learning.

At the beginning of 2016, she was specially recruited by the shooting team of Tsinghua University; in 2018, she was admitted to the School of Economics and Management of Tsinghua University.

In order to prepare for the Olympic Games, she specially applied for a leave of absence from the school.

　　"After the game, I will re-invest in the campus." She said.
