China News Service, Tokyo, July 25 (Reporter Song Fangcan) In the final hall of the Asaka Shooting Range in Tokyo on the 24th, the Iranian Frugi suddenly fell on his knees when receiving the award, which made people moved.
On the podium, he also saluted the rising Iranian flag with respect.
Four years of gun practice, unstoppable gods
Before the game, no one thought that Frugi could win the championship, except for himself.
Although the official Olympic information system also has a piece of news about him, the content is embarrassing: Frugi, 41 years old and 316 days old, will become the oldest participant in the men's 10m air pistol competition.

After the game, Frugi said he was very happy to win the gold medal as an "Iranian fighter", and he also said that he would dedicate his gold medal to the leader.
"The Iranian government supports sports. Sports are very important in Iran. They support sports. I feel very strong to be able to represent the country."
Although he is not young, Frugi is a newcomer in shooting events.
10 years ago, he was a male nurse.
At that time, there was a shooting gallery downstairs in the hospital where he worked. He saw the pistol for the first time there. After some explanation, he shot 10 rounds, and the result was 85 rings.
"About three or four years ago, I started professional training and finally won a medal this time. This is also an important moment because this is the first time Iran has won a shooting medal."
Although Qin Zhongwu, who scored three golds for South Korea, is the most optimistic, Vietnam Olympic champion Huang Chunrong and Chinese Olympic champion Pang Wei are also eye-catching, but in fact, if you have carefully watched Frugi's recent game results, he will definitely not be taken lightly.
In this year's World Cup in New Delhi, India and Osijek, Croatia, he was the champion of the 10-meter air pistol competition.
The game proved his strength.
Although he ranked 5th in the qualifying round with 580, he shined in the final.
"My nervousness has been used up in the qualifying rounds." He said after the game, "I was very relaxed in the finals and didn't have bad single serve."
In the final, Frugi played a stable game. After establishing the lead early, he believed that no one could catch up with him, and eventually won the championship with a lead of nearly 7 rings and broke the Olympic record.
Now a nurse, two new crowns
According to Frugi, he is a nurse who has been working for 15 years.
"I am still a nurse and work in the hospital, especially during the new crown epidemic." He said that he was infected with the new crown virus last year and tested positive.
After recovering, he went back to preparing for the Olympics.
Unfortunately, he tested positive for the new crown again during the period.
After a break for more than a month, he once again prepared for the Olympics.

"As a nurse, I want to tell everyone that as long as we abide by the rules, no one will be infected with the new crown virus. The whole world will be healthy. As a nurse who can shoot, I am very happy to see that this Olympic Games has nothing to do with it. The new crown epidemic is cancelled."
Looking back on the past two years, Frugi is satisfied with both of his jobs: “As a nurse, I have been fighting the epidemic since last year and have had a difficult time. As a shooter, I have spent the past two years. His efforts are for this day."
Frugi also revealed that he actually has some heart problems, sometimes his heartbeat is too fast, and this is a big challenge for shooting that requires calming down.
Frugi also revealed a secret to his success.
As a nurse, he often works night shifts. Normally, night shifts tend to make people inattentive and imprecise, but he cannot tolerate this.
This kind of concentration is very effective for his shooting training.
