　　China News Service, Tokyo, July 24 (Reporter Song Fangcan) On July 24, the battle for the first gold in the Tokyo Olympics started.

In the women's 10m air rifle competition, Chinese athlete Yang Qian entered the final, and finally set the Olympic final record with 251.8 rings and won the championship.

　　The women's 10-meter air rifle has produced the first Olympic gold medal for many consecutive years.

This is also a traditional strength of the Chinese team. Chinese players Du Li and Yi Siling won the 2004 and 2012 Olympic Games respectively.

However, from the beginning of the Olympic Games, the competition rules have been greatly adjusted. The women's 10m air rifle qualifying matches are in line with the men's event, increasing from 40 rounds to 60 rounds in 75 minutes.

　　The 21-year-old Yang Qian and 23-year-old Wang Luyao played in the Chinese team this year.

　　In the first qualifying round held in the morning, Yang Qian scored 628.7 rings, ranked sixth and entered the subsequent finals.

Another Chinese player Wang Luyao ranked 18th and stopped the qualifying round.

Chinese Taipei teenager Lin Yingxin ranked 26th and missed the final.

　　In the final, the qualifying results of the eight players will be cleared. The final will be divided into two stages. The eight players in the competition stage will each play 10 rounds. In the elimination stage, each player will play two rounds to eliminate the last player until the championship is produced.

In the first five rounds, Yang Qian shot a 10.9 shot, but she also shot a low score of 10.0, tied for fifth place with 51.9 ring.

After the next 5 rounds, Yang Qian scored 10.8 rings and 10.9 rings and climbed to the first place.

Yang Qian had a mediocre performance in the first group, but the second group hit 10.8 rings and 10.9 rings, returning to the first place, with a total score of 0.7 rings ahead of the second.

In the 17th round, Yang Qian only hit 10.0 ring, and the ranking was overtaken by her opponent.

Since then, Russian player Galashina hit 10.8 ring and 10.9 ring, overtaking Yang Qian with 0.5 ring.

　　In the top three ranking battles, Yang Qian recovered the 0.4 ring with 21 and 22 rounds, only 0.1 ring behind Galashina to enter the top two matchups.

In the 23rd round, Yang Qian hit 10.7 ring, 0.2 ring behind her opponent.

In the last serve, Galashina, who shot first, only scored 8.9 rings. Although Yang Qian played unstable, she still played 9.8 rings, and finally won the gold medal with 251.8 rings and set the Olympic final record.

Galashina won a silver medal, and Swiss player Christen won the bronze medal in the event.
